Can I just go into the advanced and say gimme a big --- gromet? Never seen any of those on the shelfts when I have scanned them before. I am installing water temp and oil pressure gauges and I doubt I will be able to shove that huge water temp probe through one of the stock holes.

I get them at my local Ace hardware. But then, my local Ace also has a killer selection of metric fasteners.

I think Summit Racing and Jeg's have a grommet kit (various sizes) they sell in their tool or electrical sections.

I found a small parts bin in a car that was abandoned at my old job with a drawer full of various size grommets.

Another vote for ACE Hardware, they've always got stuff like that.

in a squeeze you can put the wire through then silicone it

Here we go...found it in my latest Jeg's catalog. 125pc Rubber Grommet Assortment Kit for $9.99. Order by 5pm, have it tomorrow. Free Shipping but there is a handling fee.

Well I feel like an idiot. I had to stop at advanced to pick up some paint and engine cleaner and thought I might aswell look around. They have them in the Help section. Had to goto Lowes to pick up some drill bits and they also have them in their wiring section.
