How to seal exo tubes running through body

slabcrawler · 11-07-2008, 09:01 PM

I found these seals at Earl's plumbing and used them to seal the tubes I ran from my exo through the side of the bed, and to the stock inner roll bar. I always wanted to do this but couldn't figure out a good way to seal it. These are the biggest ones they make and work perfect on 1 3/4 tubes. Thought someone else might be looking for something like this.

perrrrrrrrrfect! I was wondering that too. Will work great on my exo cage where a tube will run thru cab for me to bolt 5 points too.

How much?

slabcrawler · 11-07-2008, 10:30 PM

$20.00 each.

Wow thats nice! Doesn't look like you can put them on after the fact though unless u cut and slit them lol!

I have used these ones before and they worked nice, $15.00 a piece, cant remember the site for where i got them from, i'll see if i can find it again...

This place sells alot of different styles also,they have Split Grommets, like someone mentioned above for adding after a cage is already through the cab, but looks like the biggest of that style is 1". Gives you an idea though on how to make a set if you are that serious...

Split Grommets

Normal Grommets

EDIT: Didnt realize the two links i gave at the bottom are for the same pictured in the first post, carry on.

thats sweet. i wonder if the rubber will dry up and shrink over time and then future possible leaks.

Thanks Slabcrawler!

You even made it easy to find in a search with the title!

It looks like the ones for 1.5 tubing is $60 not $15. The little ones are $16 for little sizes.

I've left my open so far and it really doesn't get much water if any coming through being on the side of the truck. The little water that does dries up quick.
