I am restoring an HJ panel van but have an HX wiring loom ready to install. I have discovered, however, that where the wiring passes through the firewall, where the HJ had a square bakelite fitting, the HX had a round rubber grommet. Short of cutting a section and plating the square hole, can anybody suggest a solution to make the HX loom fit? Perhaps there is an aftermarket square grommet available?...Thanks

Just make up a plate from sheetmetal that bolts in using the screw holes for the original HQ/J plug and punch a hole in it the same size as HX-WB. Youll also have to convert it to HX-WB column as there isnt provision in the HX harness for the floor mounte |

With my HQ I did as Byron suggested and made a plate up but I also used the inside section of the HQ plug to thicken up the plate so the HZ Grommet would stay in place, its only plastic didnt take much to clean it up. I'll post a couple of pics showing wh Edited by user Wednesday, 2 July 2008 10:08:54 AM(UTC)
