Need help finding fuel tank grommet

I have a 79 ford f250 4WD regular cab and it has duel tanks. The front tank is plastic and there is a bigger hole for the fuel and a smaller hole beside it that is a breather. I bought a grommet for the bigger hole but can not find a grommet anywhere to fit the breather hole. Has anybody else ran into this or know where to find one?

I know they sell lots of different grommets like that in parts stores like auto zone and o'reillys. I picked up a pcv grommet for my truck from autozone, so you could take it there and compare the size and may get lucky.

I need both big and little grommets for my tank as well. Does anyone know a part number or where to find these. I did try Autozone and Napa with no luck.

I got mine on ebay. Look for: 66-79 Ford Fuel Tank Filler Neck Grommet Mustang Maverick. For the vent tube grommet, go to O'reilly AP and look for the HELP! brand PN: 42323. These are what I used and they work perfectly.
