Hi , I ordered a pair of the normal rocker cover grommets for the alloy finned rocker covers, (LT 1 Type)
Remover the vent tube and old grommet and found that the holes in the covers are a larger diameter than the new grommets. Anyone know what grommets I should look for and where to find them. . 👍tia

What diameter grommets do you need ? I think I still have a box of them left over from when I bought some . Not sure of diameter but will check when I next drive over to the workshop with my new tyres that just arrived . If grommets are of use I can stick them in the post .

Do you require blank grommets to plug the holes or the grommets that the breather pipe fits into ? I will have a look to see what I have stashed away when I go over to the workshop in a day or two .

The grommets that I have look just like the one in your photo but are only 30 mm outside diameter and a 23 mm internal diameter breather pipe hole .. You said yours was about 40 mm . That`s a rather large grommet Wallace !! :LOL:

Nothing specifically to do with this thread but it's always intrigued me that our transatlantic cousins use the words,

Rocker = Rocker arm

Rocker cover = Valve cover

Rocker panel = Sill. And yet Miriam Webster US dictionary suggests, "the portion of the body paneling of a vehicle that is situated below the doorsills".

It's the last of those that seems curious. Wonder where "rocker panel" came from?

Probably find it comes from early days of horse drawn wagons or stage coaches in the days of the Wild West or some such . 🤠 :unsure:
