How to plug 2" firewall hole?

So, I'm using the nice 2" hole in the firewall for my Edge EAS cable. Just in case anyone is wondering, it's the hole to the left of the brake pedal. What are you guys doing to plug the hole back up, anything? I thought maybe I'd find a grommet with a membrane like this:
Grommets DG, PG membrane - AVT Industrial Components
That company makes several types, but I can't find anyone that carries it. I also looked at body plugs, but it seems hard to find a 2" plug.

I know I'm not the first to do this, so did you guys just leave it open, or figure out some way to plug it up? Guess I could go ghetto and use spray foam. Or just find some firm foam, cut a circle out and slot it for the wire. Give me some ideas please!

You could try one of these from you local semi-truck parts place. Just cut a slit in it to reduce it to the size you need.
