Johnson JHF 22S upper housing grommet 0205572

[neps989]

Hello everyone,

I am working on a 1967 Johnson JHF 22S 3hp folding motor. I would like to replace the upper housing grommet part number 0205572, however it is no longer available. Does anyone know of a suitable substitute for this grommet? I don’t really know what the grommet looks like. I am hesitant to remove the original grommet without having a replacement on hand. Any suggestions ?

Thank you

Rob

JHF seems hard to find by looks like #42  on a 67 folding…. can’t you make one  by modifying a similar par

The part I want to replace is #42 in the diagram from marine engine. If I knew what the grommet was suppose to look like I may be able to modify another part and make it work. I have not removed the grommet from my motor. If I have to I will run it the way it is, just hoped to replace it while I was waiting for warm weather.

Thanks

I have 1 that a havent put in my johnson yet. I can take a picture of it tomorrow. The flat surface is thicker than a standard grommet. I think a 317372 with the flat surface(some dont have the flat surface), might work if you glue a rubber washer to it

I think this is same size but top part is thicker on 205572. Maybe glue rubber washer to top?

317372 is on left. 205572 on right. They look the same size. Outer and inner diameters are only a couple thousandths different. The flat part that seals against the surface of lower unit that folds is 5/32 thinner on 317372. Maybe you can find a 5/32 piece of rubber to cut out and glue to it. Not sure what kind of glue. Maybe another member can give advice. Maybe super glue,weatherstrip adhesive,marine silicone. Just a suggestion. Good luck

Thank you for the pictures and the information. After seeing what the part looks like along with the information you provided, I am sure I can make something that will work.

Thanks again,

Rob
