Default Battery cable grommet

Anyone found grommets for the battery cables for C3 cars without buying a cable set?

Unless you want Vette specific grommets you can buy them individually in most hard ware and automotive stores, and most will have at least one that will fit both the hole and the cable.

Hi Durango Boy

I meant to ask you what is probably a stupid question. I'm going to be installing an amp this winter and have followed a lot of your suggestions on other threads. Where can I find the hardware for connecting the power and ground to the battery terminals? I have seen some products used to change out the actual terminals that add extra wire termination position for the amp wires. Is it easier to find some other hardware to connect the wires to a normal 2 post battery?

I'm going to send you a PM about this so we don't take this thread off topic.

Hi Rev,
Dr Rebuild usually has the largest selection of soft parts like grommets, but I didn't see them listed.
How about a call to some of the harness manufacturers, maybe they'd sell them separately.
Regards,
Alan

I was looking for them too, and ended up calling a salvage yard. I still had to buy used cables from them to get the exact grommits.

i am going to have an old negative cable in a week or so that will have an original grommet on it if you really need it. It may be a while though as its only 26 here right now.
