wrong firewall grommet!
So I ordered a 3 hole firewall grommet to replace the grommet that the vacuum hoses pass through for the Hvac system and it turned out to be the one for the headlight's vacuum hoses. I didnt realize that they were different sizes. So my problem is I cant seem to find this grommet and it has to be replaced. The car is a 79. Any info would be great. Thanks!

I assume the grommet you need is the one in the picture below with Green, Black and White hoses running through it. I hate to say it but it was actually made to the hoses before installation and it is not sold separately or available.
I may have a used one.. Actually I'm sure I have a good used one if this is indeed what you need. You'll have to give Norm or Tommy a call tomorrow.. 812-288-7103... and when I come in I'll double check and have one of them call you back. I will not be in until late noon.

two ways.. You can cut the hose and attach it to a used grommet, or you can take a used grommet, remove the old hose sections, enlarge the holes and then feed the new one through.
I'm not sure if you called or not, I was detained Thursday and Friday but I do have a grommet. I did check that. I'll talk to Norm and Tommy on Monday when I arrive.
