Steven, Granted it's not easy, but I've had excellent results using these techniques in the past. It does take patience! You can create your custom grommet & then use additional sealant on the outside when you're reassembling the engine cases. As a last resort, you could slice & dice the originals & use sealer to reassemble it. My preference would be to use an oversized grommet or chunk of rubber & be liberal with the sealer. You don't want excess sealer on the inside of the alternator cavity. Let us know how you eventually make out. Professor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steven van Twuyver wrote:
