April 23, 2008 - Installing Camloc Grommets/Studs |
||||||
| Thought you might want to see this big pile of aluminum shavings from having drilled out the backing strips the night before. | ||||||
|
||||||
| My goal for today was to install the grommets and studs on the cowl. With the unibit, I drilled the cowls to 15/32"" for the grommets. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
First you push the steel grommet into
the hold. Then you use the below grommet installation tool to slide
the retaining ring on the back of
the
grommet.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| Then you slip the stud through the grommet, using the special wrench below. | ||||||
|
||||||
|
This is what the finished product
looks from the
outside.
|
||||||
|
||||||
| And from the inside. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Sorry for the blurry picture, but the grommets & studs are installed on the cowls. Not a difficult job, assuming you have the special tools. As always, having the right tool makes all the difference. | ||||||
