Firewall Grommet for A/C Vacuum Lines

I'm trying to find out who repops the firewall grommet for A/C vacuum lines on a '71 Cutlass. It's located on the firewall behind the distributor. I've tried the usual suppliers; Fusick, OPGI, Parts Place... but am coming up empty. Any leads here would be appreciated, thanks.

Mike - I recall looking at these some time ago. I don't need one but I do recall seeing them somewhere. I typed firewall grommet into Google. Several types available. GL

I have a '71 CS, not sure the size of the firewall grommet. Here's one from Vintage Air which might be appropriate. Vintage Air does have some other firewall grommets, as well. GL

Here's one version....you can't see the engine compartment side in their pic but it's smooth/flat on the engine compartment side which appears to be different from what was actually used on a '70 Cutlass w/AC. The original '70 version has a raised perimeter on the engine compartment side.

I'm thinking the one shown in the link came along in '71 or 72.

I saw Patton's post after I clicked Save on mine. His is the correct piece. (Never-minding that the one I show is for '68 My AutoPilot kicked in...)

Did you try The Parts Place? They have several "firewall" grommets. I think this one may work for you.

I appreciate the recommendations, the last two links looked the closest, and I verify with my mechanic before ordering. Thanks!
