looking for the rubber gromet with nut inside

[117bigdog]

on the 05 chopper, where you bolt down the battery box or those plastic side covers that hide the battery and all electronics I'm looking for those rubber pieces that push into place then when you bolt it down they hold it in place. I don't know the name but the nuts that are inside keep falling out and the rubber pieces are shot. Anyone have these, or know where I can get them?

Those grommets and bolts have been replaced with better grommets and push pins now that work a lot better. See your dealer for them.

the battery box ones are the problem. i could use a set also.

Local shop here told me they won't fit an 05. Any truth to that? Sounds like BS to me.

If they are the same thing that is on the 06 Mastiff, I have three. The part number on the bag is BDM240-00629 and they are called well nuts. PM a shipping address and they are yours.

wellnuts

You can purchase those at any fastner place and most automotive parts places and even Lowes and Home Depot they are called well nuts and come in a bunch of different sizes.

They are called well nuts or extension bolts and can be found at any hardware store that is good. Not home depot maybe lowes but I found them at a local hardware store known for a good selection of hardware

i have done the super glue trick a few times. now they look like shit though. I tried lowes and no luck I'll try some mom and pop hardware stores. thanks guys.

perfect! thanks. I just noticed that I'm missing one of the clear caps that go on the brake lights. anyone have an extra or where to get them?

 

[07bigdog]

I think the light caps are the same as Harley's.

Do you only need 1?

 

[117bigdog]

yea only one light cap.

 

[Daddycool]

they are like $3 at the dealer and yellow over time. I change mine about every 2-3 years. I might have a few slightly yellowed ones. PM me if you want them.

For all youz info the bolts and grommets have been changed to prevent breakage of the battery covers.

BDM now uses different gromments and push pins. I (guess) this allows them to float rather than being bolted down. See your dealer for them.

Here is a pic of what they look like:

I threw two in with the well nuts. The package was at the Post Office this evening so hopefully you get it by Saturday. No charge as I get to do some small housecleaning :lol:

I got a set of them and took them off and went back to well nuts. They sucked for the rear set holes and worked ok for the front set holes.
