Re: Grommet for main wiring harness

I pulled the cover from the '49. It's pretty much the same as Howard described. The cover has a piece of spongy rubber in the lower groove that squeezes against the harness when the cover is tightened. You can see from the picture of the harness where the rubber presses against it by the black rubber residue. The harness appears to be built-up with an additional layer of rubber where it passes through the firewall. I would have removed the rubber piece from the cover but it's really starting to disintegrate and I don't want to replace it just now. I would think that you could find some closed-cell insulating material in the window/door section of your local big-box home improvement store that would work well.
