Roll Bar Grommets
 
Where is the best place, (least expensive, high quality), to purchase roll bar rubber grommets. I have a 1" 3/4" O.D.(outside diameter) roll bar, 3 tube.

Thanks,
CobraZach

Note:
Finishlines grommets fit a CR's bar but they are actually made for a 2" tube, leaving a small gap all the way around. It's not the rings that are hard to get it is the rubber grommets to match!

Grommets
 
Anyone know where I can get grommets for 3" roll bar for a West Coast?

I just slit some vacuum tube along its length, fit and measured it, cut to length and super glued the ends together. It worked well. I used it on the rear brace with the oval hole. Grommets came from McMaster but I think the biggest they have is 1.5" ID. They will stretch over a 1.75" tube BTW.

Mohuska:
I searched for same thing. I bought grommets from Mid Atlantic Rubber for front bumpers and roll bar. They have lots of sizes. I cut larger grommets down for front bumpers and hid cut line below strut. Did the same for roll bar but glued them together. They have all different diameters, widths and how much will cover the body opening Here is the link.

You said that your roll bar is 1.75" Dia, who is the manufacturer of your roadster? my rollbar has also 1.750 Dia, and i have been trying to find out who could be the manufaturer of my roadster and maybe this coulde be the answer. Thank you. which rollbar grommet did you ended up using?
