ABSTRACT:
A universal grommet retainer is structurally independent of, but acts in cooperation with, a grommet body of the type having a wire bundle held fast with respect thereto. A gripper member of the retainer, separate from the grommet body, is clamped to the wire bundle after the wire bundle is passed through an aperture in a bulkhead panel. Biasing members slideably received in tracks on the gripper member are then pressed against a surface of the bulkhead panel, thereby drawing a stop flange of the grommet body tightly against an opposed surface of the bulkhead panel. A ratchet means maintains the biasing members in place, and the grommet body is thereby attached to the bulkhead panel.
