Make SURE your replacement is good. I was never able to find a suitable grommet for my 1970 402 Longhorn and wound up reusing the original even though it was a fairly high end restoration. I glass beaded it and turned it upside down, razor blade trim and tire shine spray, looked close to new!

But if I had cut it, I'd have been hooped! So just make sure...
