Help!!!! Turbo Install
I am installing a factory turbo off a 94 7.3 to a 92. All is done and I need to find the grommet for the oil return on the back of the valley pan. The doner truck had one but it was dryrotted and un useable. Does anyone know where to find one? The Ford house told me they are discontinued and not available.

I don't know if this would work but its worth a try cause its super cheap. Go to a truck stop or truck shop like mack, ihc ect. or ask a couple truckers, and get a rubber gladhand seal/garment for the gladhand air line connections on a truck to trailer for air brakes. Many truckers keep spares in their trucks. These seals look almost identical to the one I got in my banks kit.
There are a coupple different designs but all fit in the same size hole just some fit better. (I think there are 3 differnt styles) A black one with a thin wide top, black with a thicker small top and a gray one with a wide thick top that has little flanges in the middle to prevent dirt from getting through.
Anyway, Get all three if you can and try each one and see if they fit. Then put some silicone on the best one and stick it back in and let it dry. It looks like it would work with my banks turbo setup anyway.
If that don't work try to call banks power and see if they will send you one cheap because I know they stock them i just hope your turbo drain pipe is the same size as mine!!! Just tell them it is for your sidewinder kit for you 92 ford.
But like I said, I don't know if the gladhand seals will work but its worth a try. Good luck

try napa autoparts they have all kinds a rubber gromet. I was rebuilding an old welding machine and I needed a rubber plug and I found it in Napa. Some guys from Napa will help you and some say that they don't have it but they do.
