I replaced every rubber grommet when I put my Fastback back together.

A combination of parts found on McMaster-Carr, Type 1 stuff, and some 
411 grommets I found online.  Not everything is an exact match, but 
pretty darn close.

In addition to WCM/CIP, Wolfsburg West and Bughaus have a lot of those 
rubber parts and are good quality.
