Iowa's 5F09K project

    My Dearborn K does not have heater pipe grommets. The choke cable had a grommet. Someone on here and I think it was Bob Mannel said the grommet was similar to the one used to bring the antenna wire thru the side sheetmetal.

    I found a spare antenna grommet under my carpet so I used it for my choke cable.

    The forward mounting point for the clutch return spring is at the bottom of the shock tower near the engine mount bolts. There are two holes, one round and one slotted, the spring hooks thru the slot and out the round.

    There was no grommet used, just strip caulking.


    Is that no heater grommet or no choke grommet ?

    i thot i read that the later models

    used a grommet around the heater hoses


    was is 'strip' caulking?

    is it the same as the seam sealer?

    is it also used around the

    firewall side of the steering column?


    also, i used black permatex gasket sealer

    and plastic plugs to fill a couple of holes

    short of welding them shut,

    is this alright?


    thanks
