    Yes the rubber looks a little perished, yes it's still stuck to some rusty tin, but its upwards of 4o years old and has never been punctured or had a wire pushed through it.

    This may even be form a Westfalia, although I can't prove this either way. More pictures available on request.

    £100 no offers please.

    Collection preferred due to the awkward shape of the surrounding tin. (Cambridgeshire)
    You can arrange your own courier but please PM me beforehand.

    Contact via PM or post below.




    Please don't post your comments on how expensive/cheap this grommet is or I will be forced to report all posts of this nature. Thank you

    Is there any chance it may be an even rarer Devon grommet?

    I wouldn't like to speculate and get Devon owners 'excited' all I can say is that I've never seen one in such good condition before today:)

  8. Is that not the even rarer crispy wrinkled blind grommet, only judging by the right side. If so you could add an extra 0 to the price of it

    I'd like it for my grommet collection but I fear the Australian Quarantine Service won't allow its import.
    Plus I don't know how it would stand up to our dry weather, so it's probably better for it to remain in a climate it's used to.
     
  11. I'm interested in the grommet but really need the hole to go with it.are you interested in selling both?

    Sounds ideal as I haven't got time to carefully remove the hole and I wouldn't want to damage the rubber:thumbsup:

    This hole does come free with the advertised grommet.

    Is this hole compatible with the grommet you're selling or will it need modifying? o_O

    Can I come and view the grommet please - I've been tucked up a few times with these of late.

    Also, would you consider any form of part exchange - I've a few highly prized silicone/duct tape highbrids used 'in the day' if you want that authentic period 'rat look'.

    Would you consider a swap for a slightly worn hole off a 68?
