Steele has the rubber wedge shaped grommets for the tube openings. In addition to dressing the hole edges, they help in keeping vibration and air leaking in to a minimum.

When Steele Rubber first came out with these grommets (then, #P-0421), I ordered 3 sets, but they were completely wrong for the application. They all were the same shape (not two different, as original) and didn't even fit the heater box well (cut on a simple slant, rather than a curve), but that's all they had then.

The ones now shown in their catalog (#70-1601-31 and #30-0421-31) look closer.

Meanwhile, I'm stuck with the bad ones - won't ever install them.
