Hi, I am trying in vain to locate a steering column grommet that seals the steering column shaft against the brake box. I got the firewall grommet kit from Olof, but unless they stretch a LOT, it doesn't seem like any of them fit that particular area. I have seen "bushings", but they don't quite look the part. The more I look, the more I think there wasn't one to begin with! That's a pretty big hole into the passenger compartment though. Anyone have a picture or a link I could check out?

As well, is there any documentation to support where all the grommets go? Most of mine are trashed beyond recognition.

Thanks!
David

What model are we talking about? I'm presuming it's older, if Olof is your parts source. You could also try Swedish Treasures or Skandix.

Thanks guys, I will give ST or Skandix a try. I'm not even sure what the part looks like, but I'll start digging.

Looking at title's is so last week... #-o

Swedish Treasures has the part your looking for...that's where I got mine. It's foam and is held in place with a wire clip. You have to remove the entire steering column to get it installed or do what I did and split it and use some contact cement to glue it back together.

654011 is the one I need. Beauty. I need to replace the coupler so hopefully everything will work. Now adding to the massive list for Olof. Thanks very much!
