ABSTRACT:
A motion transmitting remote control assembly for supporting a conduit (10) extending through an aperture in a support structure such as a firewall (14) in a vehicle comprising a conduit (10) and a flexible core element (11) movably supported by the conduit (10). The conduit (10) extends through a hole (20) in a grommet sector (18). The grommet sector (18) engages and is retained in the aperture in the support structure (14). The grommet sector (18) also has an edge (22) which extends between the extremities of the periphery of the grommet sector (18) and across the aperture for engaging a first grommet sector (18) with a second grommet sector (24). The second grommet sector (24) may have a hole (28) through which a second conduit (12) extends or a solid grommet sector (30) may completely seal the aperture. A method for assembling the motion transmitting remote control assembly comprises the steps of inserting the conduit (10) through the hole (20) in each of a series of first grommet sectors (18), disposing a solid grommet sector (30) in mechanical interlocking engagement with each of some of the first grommet sectors (18) for completely sealing the aperture, and disposing a second grommet sector (24) having a hole (28) and a second conduit (12) inserted through the hole (28). The second grommet sector (24) is in mechanical interlocking engagement with each of the remainder of the first grommet sectors (18).
