Grommets, Grommit!

Just looked at a 52 splitty and this has the extra hole in the bulkhead, as described earlier, I'm sure its for the speedo cable, as the dials are r/h and not central, there is no hole in the center of the bulkhead as per later cars with central speedo.

Interesting Johnathon. Is there any indication what the other two holes in the grommet would be for?

On ours its the screen wash feed and the wiring for the ignition switch. However the wiring has been worked on so may not be original.

Have a look at the image of my cab that I have recently sprayed is the hole in this one?

If so which one?

Russ the hole in question is just above the wiring loom hole,next to the heater hose holes. From the cars we have in, it only seems to appear on the old dash , rather than the later central speedo type.

This is a series 5 LCV cab just for info guys. Now you are confusing me as to which hole we are talking about

The wiring loom is the one with the 3 smaller holes around it for holding teh plate the 2 holes next to it is the heater hoses wjere do I go from here

Does this help?

Russ the hole is about 15 mm up from the loom hole and the same towards the top heater hose hole. Its the same size as the loom hole.

So its not in either of these then? as one is a 1954 and the other is a 1969

Afraid not, the one we have in the shop is a 52.

Well sorry guys as it does appear on the LCVs then, so I am unable to help

Russel. The hole in question would be (on the green commercial) halfway between the chassis plate and the main wiring loom hole (the one with the three securing screws).
It would appear, from information suplied from Johnathon, that it is a Morris feature but from the rest of you and all the books I have that it's not standard fitment on a '58 tourer.
