In the process of rebuilding my Premier i am removing the air con and replacing it with the standard heater set-up, i got one and the little grommits in the heater box that the spouts for the heater core go through into the engine bay are old and hard and cracked. ( No real suprise there!)
i have spoken to numerous people regarding getting new ones and hit dead ends. rare spares, scotts vintage rubbers, early ford and holden are among just a few people that have told me no.

i am about to give up and accept the fact that there may be mone new around but thought that i would just put a post in here to see if anyone has some new or knows where i can get some new?
anything would be fantastic
thanks for your time!

Look I'm sure that the gromets that are in the V8 tappet covers (Fresh air/EGR Valve) are the same size.

It may be worth measuring both the inner and outher diameters of the appropriate holes.
Then try for a generic gromet from either fastener shop, clark rubber or from one of the elecrtonic component suppliers like farnell or radio spares.

There are two grommets at Rare Spares you could check out for a start.7439585 is the rocker cover one and may work and 7420721 is a twin that could be cut to suit.This is only an interim suggestion though.
