Ralph Whitaker Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Currently painting the bonnet, but will require to fit new escutcheons, or "half grommet" as moss call them, into the holes after painting. Has anyone any tips for fitting these as I assume they must be squashed flat on the reverse as the originals were. Can it be done with a nut and bolt and washers, or does it require a special tool.

G Denson Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I tried the Moss instructions and they worked a treat. Cheers Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph Whitaker Posted September 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Fitted my half grommets today using the method described in the link above and it worked a treat. My next question is about the retaining washers for the Dzus fastener. I have managed to track these down, as most places were out of stock, but David Manners had them. What is the best method for fitting these, as I assume they are dished and need to be flattened after fitting in order to work. Ta, Ralph. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I used a socket to knock the washer over the fitting......with a highly trusted assistant to hold the coach key in the other side, very firmly. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
