Firewall grommets, windshield washer hoses
So far I found two vendors provide the same firewall grommet which easily falls through the hole in the firewall, very little grip. The holes in the firewall for left and right squirter hoses are approximately 3/4" diameter. Grommet supplied to about 0.800" diameter, inner groove about 0.550" diameter. Takes little effort to push the grommet through the hole, little grip.
I cannot locate my originals to compare. Has anyone else seen this issue? I have no reason to believe the holes in the firewall were enlarged. I know I never opened them up.
Finally went to McMaster, bought some grommets which have an inner groove diameter of 0.750", overall diameter 1.00". Center hole diameter is around 0.304". They seem to fit quite well.
Bugs me, the grommets sold by vendors being so different. I don't see any alternative holes in the firewall which the washer hoses could route through.
