914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Need help finding hard-to-find grommets
Posted by: spankmeister7 Feb 29 2012, 04:00 PM
Komeraden,
I'm trying to get my engine back into the car following a D-Jet-Do-Over that was my winter project. I'm having a having a hell of a time finding some difficult to source parts, and I'm wondering if anyone can chime in. Most of these cross reference as VW parts, but every online or local air-cooled VW shop I've tried shows no stock.
Here's my list:
Air cleaner bracket plugs for 1.7L, part # 020 022 3 (qty 5) (+2 for misc engine tin)
J-Tube sheet metal grommet (bushing), part # 021 119 627 (qty 2)
Cold star injector gasket for 1.7L plenum, part # 022 133 075
Alternator wiring harness engine sheet tin grommet, part # ??? (I don't see this part in the parts diagrams, but it measures 32mm for the groove diameter, and the wires measure perhaps 13mm for the inside diameter).
In searching the forums I've seen other express a desire to find some of these bits, but I haven't seen any secret stashes.
Thanks,
Marcus

Did you try the Bird??

These guys are local for me but they do ship as well. Carry most anything that is rubber:

Yes. Pelican alerted me that the fuel injector gasket is no longer available from the Porsche warehouse in Germany. The other parts don't even register.

Might also try DC Auto, but being that these are plugs grommets and gaskets, they may not be in the best shape.

Auto atlanta is actually the cheapest place to get #1, the plugs for the air cleaner base

Germany Supply has them for .40 more apiece.
I got some repros of #2 the air tube through the tin grommets off ebay but they are so thin it's pathetic. Better solution is to modify on of the rubber couplers for plumbing. The 1 1/2" size I think it is. The recesses for the clamps on the od fit snugly in the holes in the tin and the id is a good fit for the tubes.

Mikey914....914rubber,com. makes an engine grommet kit.
I am pretty sure he has the j tube grommet.

Confirmed. 914rubber.com has the J-tube grommets, but not a whole kit just yet. I spoke a little with Mark about this a while ago. The future looks bright.

I saw that German Auto in Canada had the plugs, but nearly $5 each. That's okay, but they're out of stock according the e-mail from them.
