Mark,
I had a heck of a time with grommets when I was doing the rewire on my
56...
I sent for the complete grommet kit and while some fit, others weren't
even close... especially
the ones on the inner fender where the headlight wires fed through.
I ended up using various grommets from JC Whitney, my local parts guy,
etc. For the headlight
holes I cut thin rubber tubing and sliced one side and epoxied it
around the hole. Works fine.
Of course, if you're doing a for real restoration then you may need to
do otherwise.
Good luck!
Larry
