[T3] Brake Line grommet

[Dave Hall]

Rear grommets from '72 may be larger to allow for the twin pipes on Swedish(?) M594. The parts book shows a double pipe grommet., but I've never seen one. I suppose the front hole would have to be larger too, but I don't think it shows a special one for the front.

Thanks for the confirmation. I've got several of those and wondered if they 
actually fit. I don't see the split as a problem, but I was concerned that they 
weren't the right size for the hole in the pan.

Aren't the bus ones a bit too long? I make them from CuNi in just the right 
length for easy installation. They're a bit pricey, but they're a LOT easier to 
bend into the right shape than getting them done in stainless.
