A lot of the rubber grommets for the wiring and cables in my engine compartment are in rough shape or just missing all together. I can't find any part numbers off the PET. Are replacement grommets available somewhere or am I out of luck? Examples would be where wiring passes through the engine sheet metal and most of the control cables where they exit the lower firewall.
Thanks, Rob |

You can pick up a package of various sized grommets at your local Flaps.

TCsGarage.com sells the one for the CHT wire (may work on other stuff too), & AA, Pelican, PP, SMC, etc. have various others IIRC.
Some are simply NLA - unless Mark - Mikey914 steps up to make repros! BTW - Mark I'll definitely need that firewall snorkel one that you were debating making on another post here awhile back, along with the other grommets there. Gearhead - search here for Mikey914's snorkel thread & get on his list for those 2 types at least. |

I have the ones that go through the sheet metal in the back of the engine tin to the starter area. .65 each, I'm sourcing more, and will probably make a few if not available.

This is the specific part and where it is installed. There are two more smaller ones that I managed to save.

Do you have a good local hardware store? Mine has grommets galore. Grommets are grommets. Get the right size. Don't worry about brand or vendor.

I can't even remember what was routed through this grommet. Maybe I should just plug these extra holes. The starter/reverse sensor wiring is on the driver's side.
There was a lot of crazy rewiring in the engine compartment with extra ground wires and a ford starter relay also. -Rob Found the part. This number just about says it all. 111 971 907 |
