[Healeys] Rubber talk - grommets

[gradea1 at charter.net]

Alan-if you purchased the gauge as new, it comes with the grommet
installed on the capillary line....they were installed before the line
was soldered in place. Aftermarket, or using a rebuilt unit, you will
have to put a cross hair cut in the center of the grommet, then push
the bulb thru. After you position it in the bulkhead it will close up
but you could put a small bit of sealer on the slits. Same technique
for the speedometer or tachometer cable. I actually took a steel
circle die cutter and punched my grommet with a hole just slightly
smaller than the size of the outer cable casings. Use Armorall to help
it slide up the line to its final position. Hank

 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
