Question about this small rubber boot in the passenger lower front fender area behind the splash guard where the wire harness comes out of the tube in the heater channel and runs up the fender behind the splash guard and into the front trunk area. Didn't see this rubber noted in the Ghia diagrams and have not seen it in any parts list for my car. Any idea where to find it and if there is a part number for it that I can't find? It's for a 63 Ghia vert and I'm running a new wire harness for it. Found all the other grommets, but can't seem to find this small rubber boot. Appreciate any help you can provide.

The part number is 141 971 909
You will find it in the 58 low light parts book page 139 item 41
Grommet lower main harness

I looked at the more exotic supplier and none of them had it. It is a hard to find Ghia only part. I’d perfer to be wrong about that

Will do, thank you. I did search all over the internet with no luck. You were correct it is hard to find.

Forgot the metal hole diameter but these go up to 1" (25mm) just make your own inside hole.
