Went to the auto parts store to get the grommet. Things sure have changed over the years. I remember when they used to carry them in drawers sorted by size, and you could buy just the one that you needed. Now you have to buy them in an assorted pack with a bunch of others that you will probably never find a use for. I installed the power cord. The wire I ordered turned out to be a royal bear to strip. Inside the cloth outer covering it was a round plastic line cord that was hard to cut through to strip the outer jacket without nicking the insulation of the two wires inside, and then was a bear to pull off the inner wires. On top of that the color coding was the European blue and brown, not standard U.S. black and white. I used blue for hot and brown for neutral which I remember as the way it goes from years ago when I was working. Now I just have to wait for the rest of my parts to arrive.
