Rubber firewall clamps/grommets

Recommended Posts

I need some engine compartment parts for a restoration, so they should be in top condition. Here is a detailed description of what I need:

3 rubber clamps that wrap around clusters of brake piping on the firewall - one has 4 holes in it, is slightly curved, and mounts on the back-center of the engine compartment, just above the transmission. It holds 3 brake pipes and a fuel line I think. The second rubber clamp has 3 holes for brake piping and mounts just to the left (toward the battery) of the first clamp. I'm not sure about the location of the third clamp (my mechanic disassembled them), but I believe it also has 4 holes. Again, they all hold piping and are themselves held in place by flat steel clamps and bolts. See picture of old ones attached.

You might try MSA or possibly ZCarsof Arizona. It might be possible to find them at a dealer that has some good connections with Nissan. I don't remember ever seeing them listed in any parts catalogs, but you might get lucky and find someone who has a source that may have recently surfaced.

jzorzy-

At the local Hardware store I bought some rubber of the

same size -- drilled it out to fit -- then cut the access slot

down the middle. It worked very nice. The curved piece formed

it's self when installed. It worked best to cut the access slot

with a rasorblade (I tried with a hacksaw 1st, kinda tore it up

on the edges-- looked bad) the rasorblade makes the cut smooth.
