Is there a source for just the rubber fire wall grommet for the tach wire of a '69 RR?

Thanks in advance to any and all who reply.

Anyone ever locate a source for original style grommets?

The gromment is molded on the wire , might try calling M+H or Bill Evans to see if they can help ? Also what size , there is 2 ?

The hole in the firewall is about 13/16".
I bought a replacement tach harness but the grommet is a generic style and isn't even close to original.
I sent an email to Bill Evans. We'll see what he can do. Probably end up buying a harness from him.

Not sure where to buy one, (looks as if it is molded to the wire), but here is a pic I had saved in my reference library.

Yeah, it's hopped up to over 160...

1) It is moulded to the wire

2) the repop one looks wrong

3) I cut my original carefully and re-installed it on the repop wire.
