hollow bolt for overhad lamp wiring.

Kendrick · Mar 15, 2020

I am needing to swap out my work lamps on the tractor and was hoping to find a replacement set of gromet bolts that allow the wiring for the lights to go through it while bolting the light frame in place. The ones i have were bent to death and im hoping to go with led lights now instead of the bulb type so im having to deal with the gromet bolt which i may not be able to remove from the light frameas it has no bolt head on the frame side and may have been welded together.

https://www.target.com/p/gsport-g-bolts-14mm-17mm-6mm-pair-black/-/A-76789049 is kinda what its like i just havent found the right size yet. it had a 17mm bolt on the cab inside.

Try electrical shop, find them in where they have ceiling lights. I think they are 3/8 x 3 Have one on our kitchen swag light.
Hope this helps. Maybe a building center like, Lowes or Menards??

How big is the hole? You might be able to use some lighting nipples. But they would not be very strong and typically the nuts that go on them are very thin. I don't know if they would hold up on a tractor. A picture of what you are doing might help.

Replacement Cab Lights - DK45s (2006) here's a good set of pics of it. they included a decent replacement. i went with fabbing a frame for the rear to add a bar and the fronts I will have to see how well the wire plugs the hole if i can get away with using a grommit plus wire ill be happy.
