Radiator core support grommets 1965 C10 - know any vendors?

[Lugnutz65]

I've checked with the major vendors and I can't seem to find the grommets that protect the wiring that passes through the radiator core support. I might need to make my own but would rather buy. I'm referring to the grommet on the DS where the headlight wiring passes through. There is another grommet on the PS where the red power wire passes through. Maybe my memory is bad but I'm pretty sure grommets were there. Any vendors? What do other folks do to protect the wiring in these areas? Thanks

The driver side......grommet is built into the harness. When you plug the harness in, the part that goes through the grill support has the grommet attached. The grill harness then plugs into that.

On the pass side....I used a grommet from home depot in the specialty hardware section.

Thanks. That does jog my memory. I have yet to open my AAW sub-kit with the headlight wiring. I'm hoping the AAW kit is set up that way. I'll look for a grommet to fit the PS hole. The task of wiring a truck is full of surprises.

I still have some grommets left. Let me see if I have any large enough to fit the pass side. Will check tonight when home.

Thanks. I just might swing by HF on my way home and pick up a multi-pack they sell in a box. Another option would be to slit a piece of small size vacuum line down the side and then roll it into a circle the right size for the intended hole.

the grommet would work better as it has the edges to hold in place. I picked up an assorted pack also.

The driver side grommet can be seen on this forward harness....on the right next to the voltage regulator plug. red/green wire round plug

I've always had good luck a Ace Hardware, or something similar in your are that has the huge selection of nuts bolts and pieces parts. You know, the random drawer isle with all the spacers washers, plugs, blah blah... Ive almost always found something that will work.
