Rubber bushings and grommets on CMP
 
Hey all

Just wondering if anyone has a source for the rubber bushings/grommets used on the Chevy cab13 CMP. I'm after a replacement for the large bushing inthe steering column dash bracket. The original one I have is falling apart. I'm also after a couple of the grommets used on the frame where the fuel line passes through.

My first stop would be....
 
Brian A. who may have some..... in later production when rubber was rationed felt gromlets where used.

I have given up looking, except for a universal various assortments from Princess, and I am using a section of fuel rubber line cut lenght wise, wrapped around the line where is goes through the frame and tied them in place with tape and/or mini black tie wraps.

Same thing for the wiring, whenever I suspect that it will be rubbing on sharp edges.

Cheers

I suspect Steele Rubber Products may be the source of rubber parts sold by many of the usual suspects

Thanks all

I measured my original steering column bushing and it matches the larger one offered by the two sites Phil linked.

Grant. Wow that company sure has a selection of moulded rubber parts. The prices are significantly higher the the other ones.
