Where can I find a check valve grommet?

Hi,

on my '67 98, the grommet on the brake booster is torn.
This is where the vacuum line is connected to the booster.

I cannot seem to find one anywhere. Any hints?

Thanks,
Rod

I'm forced to pay for (and throw away) parts I will never need just to get the one I do need.

I'm with you. I needed a small, plastic part for my (I hate to say it!) Mustang and they wanted me to buy a package with about 10 different applications in it. I just walked out.

Thanks for the tip!
I agree that it is stupid to sell a kit where NOBODY will need both included parts!

Unfortunately, Advance Auto seems to be out of stock.
Any other tips?

Thanks,
Rod
