Steering column boot/alternatives

Looking for the boot/firewall grommet for the steering column part#32-411. Discontinued but wondering is there an alternative that fits? Miata/fc stuff maybe?

i just looked quickly through the parts catalogs, and the FD one is pretty unique, the miata stuff is like two flanges that bolt together. and the FWD stuff has room for a U joint, because FWD

i would suggest a trip to the junk yard, and see what you can find, maybe Nissan/Toyota has something similar?

May want to find a good used one, that's a part that rarely if ever fails and someone with a parts car should be able to get you one easily and cheaply.
