grommets

[flykeith]

As my mast is down at the moment, wanted to replace the 3 grommets protecting the wires for lights. Suppliers on the web seem to have 500 min order, and whilst I'm happy to buy a spare, this is a bit OTT. Anyone know of a source?
Thanks

Grommets come in 100's of sizes, dozens of different shapes and many types of material - a bit more info. would be handy.........

Halfords (local motor factors) or your local chandlery should stock what your require.

I'm looking for round rubber seals/protectors for the wiring coming out of mast to steaming, deck & tricolour lights. Mast is alloy 1/4" thick, hole diameter 1/2", and 1". Most of common grommets I have found are for much thinner plate metal.

Maplins stock a big range of sizes.

In the event that you cannot find the right size of grommet you could make some chafe protection from self-amalgamating tape.
