Grommet for A Type OD Solenoid

[OldBob]

Gents,

I need a replacement grommet for the plunger on my A type overdrive solenoid.

Its the one in the photo attached, unfortunately not listed seperately by anyone I can find - its an odd shaped one.

Does anyone know of a source? - or perhaps someone has an old solenoid with good grommet they don't need?  (postage refunded obviously).

Many thanks

Bob

Hi Bob,

if you can't get the correct gaiter then consider a finger off a marigold glove.

Give Overdrive Spares in Rugby a ring. I'm sure they'll have one.

Cheers,

Thanks all for the suggestions, I'll try the AH spares supplier at a very reasonable £3.04 +vat

cheers

I believe these folk are the only ones who are willing to supply the gaiter only and don’t oblige you to buy the plunger (and in some case the whole solenoid)

Why can’t our favourite TR parts suppliers do the same? After all, at least in my experience, it’s the gaiter that wears not the plunger.
