I second the motion to buy assortments of grommets from J.C. Whitney -- not
to mention assortments of other _really_ obscure parts like trim fasteners,
upholstery clips and so on. On the other hand, a lot of electrical parts and
related fittings such as grommets are electrical-industry standard, not just
automotive standard. Consequently a well-stocked electronic supply store may
well have a huge assortment of little oddball fittings, which will allow you
to buy just the grommet you need, and also feel silly during the drive home
as you think about how much petrol you burned up just to obtain one little
piece of black rubber. :-)
