Where is a place to buy firewall grommets?

I seem to be able to find every piece of rubber on these trucks except them.

Thanks

Re: Where is a place to buy firewall grommets?

I will emphasize a point made earlier...Harbor Freight: 180 piece set for $5. How can you beat that?

Re: Where is a place to buy firewall grommets?

Have you checked with your local GM dealer? The stuff for trucks tends to be available longer than stuff for cars.

Also check with Wes at www.classicheartbeat.com if he doesn't stock it in oem or repro he seems to have some great sources for things like this and they will be the correct item.

Another option would be to go to your local junk yard and find OEM grommets from other vehicles that would fit the holes you need plugged.
