Front shock grommets, where to get the RIGHT ones??

Front shock grommets, where to get the RIGHT ones?? - 09/14/10 01:17 AM

69 RR, replacing front shocks, the grommets supplied that "fit" the top mount are ridiculously sloppy and sandwich in place. Does anyone carry the original rubber grommets that push through the bottom side and correctly and completely isolate the hole for the shaft of the shock?

Will they stand up to the heat of a turbo? I burn out the passenger side in a few hours of run time.
