All -

With all this talk about installing wiper grommet bobbins, got me thinking
- how do you install grommets on tach/speedo/oil pressure/temp sender lines
without cutting the grommets?  The grommets are impossible to fit over the
ends of these cables....

So far I am having to cut the grommets but I think there must be a better
way.

Thanks,

Alan

Lubrication and patience worked for me. Plus a rounded tipped ex
screwdriver or two of different sizes and occasionally a L-shaped length of
stiff wire.
