Hey guys, where can I buy the rubber plugs that look like grommets but have a thin rubber membrane in the center? I've often heard of them referred to as blind grommets.

Any help?
TIA,

CCI has them in this set: http://www.classicchevy.com/chevy-body-grommet-set-2-door-sedan-1955-1957.html

sorry, just edited my post.. not looking for body plugs, looking for grommets that have a thin membrane in the center. This is not a tri 5 specific part. I've heard them referred to as blind grommets, or blanking grommets, but I'm looking for a US mfr or distributor of these. Most of the ones I see are over seas or require an order of 1000.

I've heard those called "Diaphragm" grommets also.

I bought one of these 125 piece kits from Jegs, can't beat the deal for $10, but they don't have your 1.25 size you are after in that kit.

You can get them from here, but you have to buy a thousand of them. You might call them for a retailer. http://www.allianceplastics.com/diaphragm-grommets

Call and ask for a sample

Bill I'll find it for you and let you know. Have fun walking buddy, I did that a few years back when my MIL died of cancer. Its a great cause and good for you for sticking with it and missing GoodGuys this time around.

You might try your local ACE hardware store the ones that have bins of parts. They may have what you want.:anim_25:
