[DeTomaso] Radiator Grommets

[Mike Drew]

Richard,

Have you measured the inside diameter of the hole in the metal support bracket vs the outside diameter of the groove in the middle of the grommets? If the hole is smaller than the groove it will never work. If the hole is larger than the groove, then you aren’t trying hard enough. :)

Boiled into oblivion, silicon on the grommet and the bracket, screw drivers, pliers, even a ¼ inch to ⅜ inch socket converter with extensions to push it in with the help of a rubber mallet.  I’m not getting close because the rubber is so hard, even after 20 minutes in boiling water.
