Part # 6489378
I am looking to replace what looks like the original rubber ignition cable support grommets on the 56 Patrician. I have checked with the usual suspects (Kanter, Max, Steele) who don't seem to have this part.
It was suggested that I try one of the big box auto parts supply stores, as it may have other uses, but no luck there either.
Has anyone located a source for these? I thank you!

Except for the center hole at 3/8" being slightly larger, I believe this one will be very close to what was used. There is another with a smaller 1/4" center hole but it may be too small for the wire.

hh,,


are those cut?,, if you need to cut them,,that will reduce hole..

packards are cut ,,well, you know why,,,

then again,, that will reduce the od,,

They are not cut but I don't think a straight down slice thru with a razor blade will change the size too much.

How about that Dulinski guy in Minnesnowda? I asked him in the mirror this morning and he said he had some good originals.

Brent Hagen in Portland has new for $2 each.

I ordered one from Steele just to see if it will really work. If it's a go, I'll order a box.

Thank you gentlemen! I was thinking of ordering the Steele grommets with the 1/4" inter hole, and altering that to accommodate the ignition wire, but I will wait to see what Jack Vines finds from his Steele order.
Happy Labor to the US and Canada participants....

Hello Minnesota Mike,

Glad to know I'm not alone getting face time with a mirror.
