DT400 twin shock - chain case grommets UK was created by Jammyyammy

Hi - has anyone found reasonably priced grommets (in the UK) that will fit the chain case on a DT400 twin shock?
I can’t justify spending $45 + shipping to get OEM ones from the states…
Thanks.

eBay seller motodad24 has these for sale. Excellent quality.

 

I'm not sure about shipping to the UK.

Yes, Motodad24...  Great seller.  Might contact Sumo Rubber as well.  They might have something not listed on website...  and they seem eager to make parts they don't have.

I second MotoDad. Great product and great seller.

I think you just sent me a message on eBay (I am Mellow Yellow Supply).

I think we will start making these next year as a lot of folk want them!

 I bought some of your front mudguard grommets a few weeks ago.

Thanks to all.
Yes ‘Mellow Yellow Supply’, it was me on eBay.
It would be great if you could start making these. I checked sumorubber and they don’t sell them, so you would be the only seller in the uk…
I see the US seller sells a complete kit, but I would guess that most people just need the rubber part, not the insert/washer/screw…
I’ll be your first customer.
Anybody else need any of these???

For $5 + shipping you get THREE grommets and all the hardware.  At that price, you can toss the hardware if you don't want it. 

Sumo and others sell similar grommets for about $2 each without shipping... 

I know shipping to the UK can be expensive but seems like Motodad's value would be hard to beat...  not sure if it can be done with International shipments but Motodad might be able to stick just the grommets (no hardware) in an envelope and ship to UK cheap?  Can't hurt to ask?

I haven't actually fitted them yet! I've yet to summon up the courage to attempt to fit a new stripe to the front mudguard (bike is a DT3), and I've also got another eight restos on the go!

Like the others have confirmed MotoDad is a very good seller.
I've ordered multiple items off him in the past and he has combined shipping.
