Small grommets / plugs

Hi All

I am well into fitting my windscreen now (albeit with the small issue that it has cracked from top to bottom ), but that aside I have ended up with a few 5mm holes about from where the aeroscreen was attached to. I could fill and spray, but as it is nice gelcoat I'd rather not...

I was thinking some nice black rubber grommets would fill them nicely and look neat. (I used these on the windscreen holes before I fitted it). One other suggestion was the plastic ones used in cars to hold the panels together?

Any idea where to get either from? All I can find are about 8mm and up and I would like to avoid making the holes bigger to be able to fill them!

Many thanks

Mark

click on the link for 'rivets'

and glad you didn't blame me for the big crack in the screen.

Stainless M5 button headed setscrews or 4.8mm blind headed rivets would do the job.

Also Moss Plastics, they do free samples.

So between Moss and Skiffy I think you could get enough samples to not even have to buy any
