2 firewall hole grommets
Anyone know where I can buy the grommets for the two holes shown in the pic?
Thanks!

Re: 2 firewall hole grommets
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...

Re: 2 firewall hole grommets
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!!!!
