Because I object to paying £9.50 for 6 tiny bits of plastic from Orange...

What size are the Orange ones?

I have 4/6/9mm and 5.5/7.5/10.5mm ones in my big bag of grommets. The 4/6/9mm ones are snug fit over outer cable. Happy to chuck a few in the post to you if you want.

Thanks all - I had looked on ebay but not thought to look at electrical items...

Mark - I am not sure of size, I have a maplin in Stirling, so will get some orderd into there. But thanks for the offer.

After ruining my brake hose grommet yesterday I looked for some alternatives. I knew that I would end up spending £30 on the Orange website to get free postage.

I measured the brake hose diameter (5mm) and hole in the swing arm diameter (7mm) so will just source on eBay for < £1.50 for 6.
