I'm trying to find grommets for another application
The open one is a good feeling t but I'm trying to use it as a plug in my engine shroud where stock 911 mfi injectors go. So ideally looking for a plug without a hole

I can't read the part numbers in this spare parts bin grommet next to it
I think it might be a 4cylinder accelerator grommet

Is that what it is?
Anyone know where I can buy 6 of them?

I've seen a couple of those on fours. One on the engine shelf for oil temp wire and one on the rear vertical tin for the starter harness.

You should make every grommet on the car mark.

you guys are amazing..
the blind grommet looks like that is it!

Mark,
I can send you a PM, but I didn't see that grommet on your site?

it looks like the clark rubber ones come in 32mm or 38mm
unfortunately I need a 36mm (could probably get by with a 35mm)
Mark, what do you have in mind? anything close to 36mm?

Does it have to be metric? 1.41". Do they have one for a 1 1/2" hole?
