Default 4+3 Grommet?

Putting my OD pan back on and I couldnt remember how the filter attaches to the little black tube-I was freezing and ripped the old one off. I see the tube with the grommet which I managed to rip but I told get how it holds the new filter in place. ANyone happen to have a part number for this grommet?

The filter is held in place with the rubber grommet and the pan. It's a slip on application. The grommet is a a 5/8 ID by 1 1/8 OD, you may be able to get it in a filter assembly, the filter is a Ford FMX 68-81 application (about $8.). Exlers shows the filter, gasket and grommet for $22.00. It is possible the filter will come with a grommet in the FMX applications.

Just checked Ecklers page and it shows the grommet already installed-the one I bought from midamerica didnt come with the grommet since Im assuming you can reuse the old one. Does anyone know for sure if the Ecklers kits includes the grommet? Anyways now I get it-the grommets sits inside the hole in the filter and slides on the black tube. Sorry for the brain freeze lol
