master cylinder reservior grommets '96 Suburban

[jrsavoie]

I have been trying to find master cylinder reservior grommets for the 96 Suburban. I called every parts store and dealer within driving distance.
They all said they sell them with the reservior or worse with the master cylinder.
Any ideas where I can purchase just the grommets?

I cannot recall the style of grommet used, for what it is worth at least try McMaster Carr
http://www.mcmaster.com/
If all else fails.

Cheers

My plan is to buy whatever part comes with the grommets, take the grommets and return the part. I don't like the plan but it's all I have so far.

got any pics of the old grommets?

I moved this to the Drivetrain section. It will get much more exposure there. I'd take measurements on them and then search for gaskets or grommets in Google. All I found was the same thing you did... a whole reservior or master cyl.

fwiw a whole new master with grommets and reservoir is under 40 bucks. if the truck has a ton of miles on it, it may just be worth replacing the whole thing.

Where did you get that price?
I was quoted $80 for the reservoir. And more for the master cylinder. I think this master cylinder has been replaced. It looks pretty new. I don't remember it off-hand but all the vehicles kind blur together anymore. My record keeping went south when I was traveling around and never home.

I don't have the grommets out yet. I was hoping to have new grommets before I took it apart. I thought the grommets would be easy to find. So much for thinking.
I did a lot of searching on Google and Yahoo and found a lot of master cylinder reservior grommets. But none for our vehivles.

I found this on DP, I am not sure if it has what you are looking for:

The link point to the hydroboost but I am not sure if they have anything for Master Cylinder. May want to give them a call anyway.

This one is probably the same company but it said deal directly with consumer:

No go at MBMB. Waiting for Pirate Jacks to call back
