Bulkhead grommets

[redrover]

I need to replace the perished grommets in the bulkhead. I have a replacement throttle bar grommet from Wins which I bought many years ago, but I still need grommets for the main positive cable, and the choke and fuel reserve cables. The grommets for the steering column and 2 wiring harnesses are okay, but if I can replace, i'd prefer to.
The choke/pet res cable grommets look fairly generic, and I may be able to find something similar on our MGB which I can order from Rimmer's. But does anybody know of a source for the others? They are pretty big and thick.

the throttle shaft grommet is a real PITA with the engine in place! I finished with bruised ribs leaning in over the sill to get the grommet seated. The support bracket on the near side has bolts and nuts mounting it, but I silver soldered the bolts to the bracket to make it easier to remount with only 2 hands....WYAIT (while you are in there), I suggest you replace the reserve tap Oring

Thanks. I've got the throttle shaft disconnected from its mount, so should be able to fit the grommet without too much fuss. The reserve tap O-ring was replaced last week. I'm hoping to find replacements for the battery main positive grommet, and the reserve tap cable grommet. I think I've found a source from an MGB supplier, but need to measure again to be sure.

I hope experience bears out your optimism on the throttle lever grommet , I found it a major PITA. I thought about doing the grommet from the driver's side, but found it impossible due to the shape of it.

Thanks, I've got as good access as you can get, so I'm hoping it's not too troublesome!
I will have to remove the lever on the end of the throttle bar, which I'm hoping can be released alright on the pinchbolt. The mount and spring are already disconnected from the bulkhead. I'm assuming I'll have to mark the lever so it goes back on at the right orientation.
