Grommet Question

[qman]

72 F100 2wd. I have a couple holes in the firewall that are about an inch and a half in diameter. I figured there are grommets for them but haven't seen any in junkyards and those I've taken off newer vehicles never fit. Anyone know where to get new ones?

[fordman]

maybe the parts store or the hardware store.

Are you looking for grommets (for wires to pass thru) or plugs (to seal the hole)? Either should be available at the local hardware store.

Plugs.

Dennis Carpenter sells the rubber plugs for the firewall. They have three sizes that range from $1 to $3.

speaking of which not to steal this thread but what are thoses plugs that go in the floor board on each side they are oblong 1"x 1/2" towards the front near the kickpanel area??

as for gromets auto zoo sells them also for timp i think if they arent stock then the p/o probably had the truck rustproofed at one time or another

theses are factory holes i have seen them in other pics just after members have removed there carpets i think there production line holes for the assembly line pins to move the cab down the line. but have not seen them with a rubber plug, so im lacking info on this . opps i found them there listed in dennis carpenters book pt#380680-s on pg 69.

I'm pretty sure LMC has them.

As for the round firewall plugs, just head down to the local bodyshop, they'll have something to fit it. When I was converting my truck over to factory A/C, I had to put plugs in the existing heater hose holes. Stopped by the local restoration shop and they had several that would work, cost me a couple bucks apiece.
