little help sourcing a grommet.....

[CruiserStuff]

I searched the forum and found an old post saying that Mark at Mark's Off Road had some of these.....unfortunately, the thread is over a year old and Mark doesn't think he has any left (per my phone convo with him today). Anyone else know where I can get my hands on a new one of these bad boys? Sorry for the bad photo, only had my cell phone with me....in case you can't make it out, it is the oval, 2-hole grommet for the fuel lines that goes through the floor of the truck.



As always, any help is appreciated.....

I've been looking for one of those for years too

SOR (used). Sometimes, used rubber can be cleaned up pretty nicely. It beats having a hole in the bottom of the tub.

Thanks, spotcruiser. I'd prefer a new one......I guess I'd do used if there was no other option. Anyone else?

I bought that specific grommet from the dealer for 3-4 bucks a month ago.

In case folks missed my prior email, I have that specific grommet on my shelf, still wrapped in OE plastic. Its...er....new old stock.....and I sell it for $25 shipped in the lower US.

You paid $3-$4 for a grommet and are willing to let it go for $25. What a deal!

You do know that I am kidding right.....I would sell it for less than $25....

I split a short length of fuel line hose and set it into the oval hole, then slipped an oversize section of fuel line hose over the main hose. Heater hose will work just as well, no worries.

Here are the shots and part number for that grommet. Still available from the dealer....

You rock...I'll call and check it out.....

NOT the right part.

You CAN see that, can't you?

That is a FIREWALL grommet.

Perhaps Mark is right, or he is just wrong.

I was at the parts counter at Toyota asking for an oval shaped grommet for a couple of lines on my tub floor...just to the side of the gas tank. We looked up the part on their system, and the photo matched the AGED and CRACKED grommet in my freaking hand. I bought it for 3-4 bucks. Sorry if I misread the original post from cruiserbrett in post #1. Maybe if he had been really helpful and thrown some weight around with ALL CAPS I would have paid closer attention.

 

[spotcruiser]

I think the part number for the fuel line grommet might be 90480-01419. Worth looking into.

 

[crushr]

The pictured grommet is for the heater lines passing through the firewall.

 

[vtcruiser60]

I stand corrected. That part I posted is not right for the floor. I tried fitting it to an aluminum tub in the garage and it is pretty damn tight...it doesn't feel right.

Still the discrepancy in part numbers has me scratching.....

No reason to drag cruiserbrett into your mess here...

Indeed..another truth.

My third error...the first one being a grommet reply in the first place.
