where to buy stock style firewall gromets?

I'm looking to buy a gromet to feed wires through for the drivers side firewall. I'd like to find a gromet like the stock engine harness uses if possible. Anyone know where I can find such a thing?

Thanks,
Dan

where i am running cables through is blocked from the factory, so there wouldn't be a stock one. It's smaller then the other grommets.

That's a really good question!

I did some quick Googling with no luck. I agree that the junkyard could be a good source - just go looking through cars until you find one that's the right size you want and everything. I'm sure there's a source for those things new, but I'm not sure where.

On my old TII, I did the drill holes/install grommet for extra wiring. The wires were wrapped in nylon loom and tape, and were a tight fit at the grommet. Worked well, but I doubt I could have easily removed the harness the way I did it.

Dale,
I spent like an hour trying to find a place that sells something similar. I'd rather not go looking around a junk...but if I have to i'll go this weekend I called McMaster car and the lady wasn't very helpful.
