Need help finding hard-to-find grommets, and seals Options

[r3dplanet]

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

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.
