I had a look for some grommets. but it seems the sandman I have here did not have them. Talking to greg we are not real sure if they did or didnt. I dont see the point in them as they are not realy needed. the van I have here I would bet my left nut the hoodlining had never been removed and there is no sign of them there.

cheers

My HX doesn't have the grommets either and I'm pretty sure my hood lining has never been removed. Maybe they are only on HJ??

Will have to check parts books later on when I think of it.

ok...dunno what i was thinking but i thought i saw them on the hj sandy out the back...:knockout:

i just went and checked and there is none in the holes and the holes are to small to have ever had any..

must have been the drugs from the 70s that are making me see things...:shifty:

Not the drugs Greg. This pic of the HJ hoodlining strip was posted a while ago and shows a plastic plug in the holes. It is either possibly a plant specific thing or someone has fitted them when re-installing their headlining....

hmmm interesting. there is no room in the HX sandman I have here for them. the bars only just stick through. I don't think I will worry about them. At the end of the day It doesn't seem that they are needed so no point going through the exercise of getting them made as it will only increase the cost of a kit more. Once the headlining is fitted no one will see them anyway.

I will work out a price for these kits over the weekend. The strip that was getting laser cut out has also increased in cost from the original quote I got. Will see what I can work out.

Cheers

They look like the ones that are in the firewall? One behind the dizzy and I noticed another one facing the other way between the throttle pedal and the brake pedal.
