Default 65 parking brake seal, item 17 UPC 5 C1

What does the seal look like where the parking brake cable passes thru the firewall? Do any of the vendors sell this seal?

Thanks

I have a 66 so my AIM shows GM part # 3781106 seal. Long Island Corvette lists part # 47-11B Parking Brake Grommet 65-66. I believe it is same part. Picture on Long Island website.

Purchased that seal and it did not come close to fitting. I then noticed in my 65 AIM that the seal was added as a revision on 4/23/65. My car was produced prior to that date, so I assume there is no seal required on my early 65.

I took a look at a 64 AIM, and I don't see a seal or grommet listed for the parking brake cable. It's possible that prior to April 65, 65's didn't have one either?
