Tiny Grommets?

Discussion in 'Monster' started by wadesnj, Apr 3, 2019.

  1. Don't laugh. .. but after removing the dB killers from my BOS cans, I'm left with an annoying little hole in the end pipe, and, being a bit anal, I'd like to tidy it up with something. Ideally not a bolt, more like a little grommet that can live in that environment. Any (serious) suggestions? IMG_20190330_170725.jpg
     
  2. piece of solid foam or rubber, cut to shale and glued in?

  4. Of course... but ideally would be QD to re-install dB killers for MOT ....
     
  5. Local plumbing store?
     
  6. Stainless bolt and dome nut?
     
  7. 1: No access to lathe
    Get yourself a button head cap screw.
    Drill a tiny hole close to head and hold with Tiny R clip.
    2: Access to lathe.
    Get any stainless screw.
    Machine grove close to head to accept a C clip.
    Machine head down to 0.2mm say or smaller.

    In either case finish by cutting off excess screw. Personally I would opt for 2 as neat and less obtrusive but both fine. Both allow easy removal to refit dB killers.

  10. Probably best idea so far, should be able to cut the bolt down so it doesn't show too much. Have to have a rummage for something suitable tomorrow.
     
  11. As it requires least skill and tools!

  12. Two small rare earth ball bearings - would look the bollox from behind too
     
  13. A ball bearing the exact same size but, leave it in the freezer for a week so it will reduce in size slightly, then put it in the hole and as it warms, will wedge in.
     
  14. Then as the exhaust warms, it will fall out again... lol
     
  15. Yeah but if nothing else, it keeps you busy :D
