Are these easy to find ?
I ruined my old one,,,when i removed the pushrod from my old master cylinder.
I need to put a new one on,,,,,
in the past i was lucky to have one in the replacement MC....which was not the case with the MC i just got.

I compared an OE one side by side to a piece of vac line & they're identical ex for the OE one has a groove cut lengthwise on the outside that does not affect fit or function. Dont remember what size of line, my parts house just snipped me off a piece.

I used a piece of fuel line ground down to the right OD on my bench grinder.

Ever had the push rod come out of the master cylinder on a 10 sec car. If the grommet is not there, the only thing keeping the pedal from coming back and disengaging the m/c is the flimsy tab used for the brake light switch. Pretty helpless feeling going for the pedal and the rod is against the firewall. Destroyed a $20K car over that rubber grommet. you need it. I also make a positive stop for my brake pedals now. Not too hard to get your foot accidentally behind the brake pedal when going to tag the brakes@ 135 so as not to hog the finish line.
