| dunno if any1 out there in Grease Monkey land wants to help answer this but I'll give it a go Im gonna custom mount 2 of these as indicators at the front, upright so the visor is at the top (sideways would block the light being seen properly), anyway the plan involves changing out the hollow bolt that has the wire running thru it, as it's too short for the way Im mounting it, & put a normal bolt. which means Im gonna drill a hole in the shell of the light, to run the wire out, instead of the wire comin out thru the bolt. I wanna run the wire thru a rubber grommet to keep the light watertight. My question is, where the heck do ya get a little rubber grommet like that? what sorta place would i go to for that? & dont say 'Grommets R Us' or I'll beat you with a stick or...are there longer hollow bolts available (I doubt it, but throwing it out there anyway) | |

| You could also try somewhere like JCar electronics - bound to have grommets and/or hollow bolts...
