Head lamp bracket

[CtrMint]

Guys,

I'm at my wits end with the build......

I thought I'd finish off the head lights this evening. All I needed was to pass the wire through the head lamp arm and fit the two grommets, then mount to the chassis.   I'm not sure if its just me, but that is impossible.  The grommets don't fit.

I've tried everything, including cutting the grommett, even drilled the hole out a bit. 

I'm just lost as to how you are supposed to do this.  Arm looks a mess now as does the protect wrap.

What am i doing wrong?

Can i just buy these made up?

Yours an very frustrated and disappointed owner :-(

Any chance of posting a photo? I have the older more upright brackets so it's probably different but show me what you are trying to do.  Not sure I remember a grommet? Builds can be frustrating but at least your a long way from summer so not missing anything.

They are a massive pain in the a**s, in reality it’s only possible before the upper suspension arms are fitted, obviously you only learn that lesson after its to late.  I put top hat grommets in, CC didn’t like it, but it passed IVA.

The assembly is off the car, but there doesnt seem to be any room to get a grommet in no matter what I do.

Check your old PM's.  I am sure that I mentioned how to do this a few weeks back.

Thanks Jim, I dont really consider that a solution.

It's up for sale, I've simply had enough.
