Grommet/Plug for firewall?

I'm planning on using the 2" hole in the firewall that is to the left of the brake for my Edge EAS sensor wire. Does anyone know where to get a grommet or plug that would fit that? Or does everyone just leave it open?

Harbor Freight has a section of one of their aisles that has a decent selection of plugs and grommets, sold individually or in multi-size kits.

Many trucks have a few " pass thru" wires already in place. Check the harness behind the master cylinder for taped back wires that aren't connected, pick a size/color and you should find the other end under the dash near the parking brake pedal mount.

I'll have to check out HF, good to know. I don't have one near so maybe I'll call.

I found those wires, but I need to actually pass through the cable for the Insight so that won't work.

Any aircraft maintenance supply or pilot supply

Or give this guys a call

I don't know why I didn't think of McMaster, they have one for $15.27. Thinking about it, do they make any with a membrane in the middle? More a rubber plug I guess? Then I could slit it and it would still kinda seal around the wire? Maybe I'm just overthining all this... I just want to do it once and be done, don't like having to do things multiple times and waste money.

Just need to find someone that sells it, LOL.
