2 firewall hole grommets

Anyone know where I can buy the grommets for the two holes shown in the pic?


Thanks!

I bought the firewall grommet set, but the one I bought did not come with those 2.

Re: 2 firewall hole grommets

I think one of the cables for an original deluxe heater goes through one of those holes?

Re: 2 firewall hole grommets

I think one of them is for a heater box mounting stud, thus no grommet...

Found it. Check out this post from jonzcustomshop. I'm not sure what thrift heater or heater delete trucks did about plugging the hole though.

Re: 2 firewall hole grommets

Great job on finding that pic! I was thinking the other one was a wire that came through the firewall, but possibly Tsmith was correct.

NOW, where can we find a 'new' grommet

Re: 2 firewall hole grommets

I have a cable through mine and use the sticky black sealing tape around the cable the other I found a nice looking cone washer and just sealed it with a allen, looks fine and does not leak water or air. I bought a rubber grommet kit for about 10 bucks but none would fit it just right.

Re: 2 firewall hole grommets

I do plan on just plugging.
I'll see if I can come up with something. Maybe I'll use the old grommet (if I can find it), epoxy the hole in it, smooth it out, and paint it. The 'round' hole, I'll probably just use a painted push in fastener.

Very sharp looking towersddg!!!!
