i believe board vendor Classicheartbeat (wes) sells all of the firewall grommets individually, as well as a complete kit.

The firewall brake rod boots were only being made by GM. Everyone who had them used GM for their supplier including us. I managed to obtain 4 of these boots, 1, I used for a sample to send to our manufacturer to have reproduced, 1 was sold to a customer, the other 2 will remain in my hands until our reproductions are done. The reason I need two is because the company that I used to reproduce them lost a sample once before and they needed a new one. (so 1 is just in case) The other is for a sample for me to compare the prototype to so I can approve production once they are right.

I do possibly have a line on a couple more and will update you if I get them. Untill then they are going to be next to impossible to find. WES

I will be starting a thread when they get here with what I have. So if you want one I will need PMs. I dont have prices yet, but I think they will be around $20.00 (still in negotiation) WES
