where to find grommets?

Post by dotcentral »

I need some 1.25" outside diameter grommets. Every place local stocks up to 1" dia. NAPA was the worst. Said they had them, I asked them to verify the size, then drove there and they only had 1". So NAPA ordered them, turns out the guy ordered 1" grommets.

Has to be very close to 1.25". I need to protect wires and fuel line passing through a crossmember. Without breaking the bank. If nothing else, I will split some rubber line and run that along the crossmember pass thru hole.

Thanks Slick 4x4. I will keep that in mind.

I went to Lowes after posting this and they had them for $1.29, so I bought one to try out.
