I have a 2.3l 1979 Mustang and really need a replacement grommet. This part right here -



What's it's number? The rubber on the part is so messed up, I can't read it. I've found some grommets, but not sure they fit the 2.3L block.

This is listed for a 5oh but I think they are the same. One or more of the 2.3L guys should be able to confirm or deny...

Yeah I've seen that one and the 5.0 concerns me a bit, but it does look similar.

I came up with this OEM part number but I'm having trouble conforming the application: E3AZ-6A892-A

Measure the worn out one and the opening you need it to fit. Here are some 79 5.0 grommets but at least it has dimensions and you should be able to see if they are the same. Looks like two different grommets.

Thanks, I've ordered some, but the shipping will take more than a month to ship to Europe.
Meanwhile we took measurements and are going to 3D-print some out of heat-resistant rubber. I'll tell you how it goes and which one was the right one.

Update 1:
We've designed and 3D-printed the missing part out of heat (and oil) resistant thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Fits snugly and should work until the proper part arrives.
