Firewall heater grommet

Post by Harv »

Looking for an original firewall grommet that the two heater hoses pass through, in good condition. I have three of the Rare Spares repros, but have found they are not thick/rigid enough. The heater hoses make them flex, and pull them out of the firewall. Trying to avoid Sikaflexing them in if I can.

Cheers,
Harv
