Can anyone recommend a supplier for replacement engine bay grommets to suit the various pipe penetration diameters. All I can find with a correct panel hole have a pipe size to large.

I dunno but i would Google pistonheads Chimaera grommets and expect a few threads that will help. I find it works better than the site search engine.

cool

I seem to remember they are a landrover part.
Buy the small diameter ones then you can cut the hole to any size you want.

Thanks chaps
A few posts for reference popped up and as suggested they appear to be a Landtover item. It looks like Racetech do them as well.

The vast majority of grommets you'll find at places like autosparks etc. Are for metal panels 1-2mm thick, no good for fibreglass, twice as thick or more.

Are the Land Rover ones for a thicker panel?
