Firewall wire grommet

I'm looking for the rubber grommet that fits inside the clamp on the fire wall on the drivers side. Didn't see in on Dennis Carpenter. is that available anywhere else? Not sure what to call it.

Not clear what part U are referring to; if item 3513 in diagram, as best as I can determine from description perhaps p/n C5TZ-3513A? Suggest hold off for more knowledgeable member to chime-in and confirm. The catalog refers to the item as 'steering column' weather seal for 65/66 F100-F250 manual 3-4 speed transmission. I was unable to locate the item for my 65 and ended up purchasing a Bronco rubber weather boot seal only to find it has a smaller diameter than 65 steering column and ended up stretching the boot to fit. Anyhow, food for thought, if referring to similar/same item, perhaps member will offer sources, or suitable replacement?

Here's the link to the retainer it fits into. The grommet has four holes in it for separate groups of wires I believe.

I could not find one originally and didnt care about NOS, here is the one that I ordered, It fits after I trimmed off that ridge sticking out of the back, once it is in the retainer it looks fine.

As best as I can determine, no item description regarding application, or measurements. If decide to go this route suggest contact.

The catalog refers to the item as 'steering column' weather seal for 65/66 F100-F250 2WD manual 3-4 speed transmission.
You omitted 2WD and when asking the question, and the OP wasn't clear about anything, also failed to mention (assuming this is what he's working on) that his '65 F100 has 4WD (sigh)

The parts catalog pic you posted is different .. because the 4WD steering column is different and so is the weatherseal.

4WD parts catalog pic shows that the basic part number for the weatherseal is preceded by a black star (*01738), which in this case, means that the part was not serviced...had to be improvised.

When 01738 is looked up in the body parts section of the parts catalog, it says: 1964/65 F100/250 4WD & F350/750: Improvise from inner tube stock.

PLEASE .. when asking questions, list ALL the pertinent info.

Sorry ND I did not know there was a difference in in this part with regard the this grommet for 2x or 4x applications. That said yes this is for my 65 F100 4x4.
