John E Davies Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 This was posted in the past, I can't find it. Grommet is 3/8" outer hole, 1/4" inner hole, and about 1/16" thick. Steel holder piece is 5/8" diameter. I can buy a big set like this, but that seems like a waste for one grommet... There is a great specialty vendor for o-rings called The O-ring Store, but they don't have a sister company for grommets.. ;( Thanks.

Moderators topgun2 Posted April 10 Moderators Share Posted April 10 The last set (individual grommets) I purchased was found at Lowe's and the set before that was at Ace. Good luck!

Galway Girl Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) UPDATED: The 5/16" ID grommet from ACE and Zoro fit our door holders. Available at ACE HW and from Zero online. It has the center hole for the latch at 5/16". The holder on our door has a groove opening (also called the drilled size DIA) of 7/16". Also for specifying grommets I found this on a Grommet MFG site...shows how they specify grommet dimensions. https://rubber-grommet.com/grommet-size-chart/ Metal Part On Body Inside Diameter Groove Diameter Outside Diameter Groove Width Overall Thickness Oliver Measured 6mm or .235" 8.7mm or .343" 16mm or .631" 1.7mm or .066" TBD as needed Edited April 20 by Galway Girl Changed image 1 1 2019 Elite II (Hull 505 - Galway Girl - August 7, 2019 Delivery) Tow Vehicle: 2021 F350 King Ranch, FX4, MaxTow Package, 10 Speed, 3.55 Rear Axle Batteries Upgrade: Dual 315GTX Lithionics Lithiums - 630AH Total Inverter/Charger: Xantrex 2000Pro BLOG: https://4-ever-hitched.com Amazon Oliver Outfitters Guide: https://amzn.to/2mAAgPO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted April 10 Moderators Share Posted April 10 Galway Girl's advice on measuring is VERY sound - over the years Oliver has used different hardware for the door catches (I'm assuming that this is what JD wants these grommets for).

Golfnut Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 JD I have a 2022 LEI. Under warranty one of the grommets went bad , Oliver sent me a couple…. I was at my favorite Ace hardware and looking at the Hillman Drawers and saw those grommets, I didn’t get any , but I think one would fit.. Hillman Headquarters is 10 mins from me.. Try your local hardware store… Hull # 1179 2020 Honda Ridgeline.. SW Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators topgun2 Posted April 10 Moderators Share Posted April 10 Golfnut - Certainly your advice is sound. However, note my post above and I'm reasonably sure that the grommets your Ollie takes are a different size versus the ones that JD's Ollie takes.

Galway Girl Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Found this particular 5/16" ID grommet fit perfectly in my bracket. It's designed for a 7/16" holder hole. (Groove) You can buy this at most ACE HW and also from Zoro online. The grommet hole of 5/16" is big enough to securely hold the latch but not so hard to push the latch into the hole. When I tried the earlier listed 1/4" ID grommet it was simply too tight. The latch would try to push the grommet out when inserting. Again...your holder may be different. Anyone want 99 , 1/4" grommets ...let me know.
