Default Looking for A/C vacuum line grommet for 65 Tempest/Lemans/GTO

Can anyone tell me where to locate a replacement rubber grommet that passes through the blower motor case under the hood and has 4 holes for the vacuum lines and one hole for the electrical harness pass through. This is for a 1965 GTO, but I assume is the same as a Tempest/Lemans. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure it's the same Dia; but Ames shows one for use on the hideaway light cars.
It looks as it may be usable. I ended up securing a good one off a Donor car.

Best I could find when looking, but did not try one. See here, http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...grommet&page=2, post 26 on.

Could you measure the hole size? Let us know if you do try one.

Thanks Jeff. I found it in my Ames catalog. It might work. Will have to do some measuring.

Thanks. I will let everyone know if I go this route. I may actually try to fabricate one myself out of rubber if all else fails.

On my 64, I was able to use this grommet for the fuel tank vent. It fits the hole perfect. 64 only has two hoses there, so I just had to drill them out larger. I'm sure you could drill more with patience.
