    Hey guys, I'm looking for the grommet that's in the false firewall that my brake booster hoses connect into. Mine is torn. My car is a 2001.5. Let me know if anyone has any. Thanks

    I just cut through my grommet after it tore and failed and put some 5/8" hose through it which is the right size for the brake booster hose connectors.

    It's an easy repair that looks decent and won't fail as easily like those stupid grommets. Plus, leaving the grommet in place and making an opening large enough for the hose to pass through will protect the new hose from chaffing on the secondary firewall.

    Fixed, no problem. I never took it apart before so I didnt realize how the set up worked. Thanks for the heads up so I didnt have to screw around measuring hose sizes.

    Not a problem, always happy to help. I used to live in Greenwich before Newport Beach, off Round Hill Rd. Small world.
