Name that grommet

Been removing the old carb system today for an upgrade. Found a bunch of cheese screws, a linkage bushing from 1995 and this grommet:

For those who are interested in the Genuine VW bushing here it is. Did they always wear unevenly?

 

Engine/gearbox tin, next to the block rhs I think for a cable to starter from...alternator?

 

Yes. Grease would help.

 

Even the copper replacement is showing wear including on the rear face.

 

ooooh i know that one the grommit is the type 4 engine rear fire wall that the copper fuel pipe passes through.

got one off ebay - looks like no more!

Cheeeese, Grommit?

 

Cheers I found the location. Ill see if i can find a replacement.

 

Search eBay that’s where I got mine it was a genuine one

 

That's the one but I have a regular flexible fuel hose going through it. Did some earlier models have metal pipes?

 

Dunno I just thought metal through it was safer than rubber ?? When I changed all the hoses a few years ago

 

Not that I recall just a short rubber hose off the fuel pump to the T piece.

 

I checked this morning and it has already been replaced. Was it me? Who knows.
