A friend of mine had a '70 Swinger 340 with the two hood scoops and they had a factory-cut hole in the hood under each scoop. The holes had a rubber/plastic grommet in them that stuck up about a half inch to keep water from going up in the scoop and going into the engine compartment. I'm looking for those grommets. Does anyone know about these and/or where to buy them?
Thanks!

I used trailer light grommets, found at a rv supply store. Worked fine. I think they may come in different diameters, I know I had about a 4 1/8 inch hole

I have the DMT hood seals as well. Jim at DMT does a great job, they're awesome parts and he has great service. They're nice and tall on the top side to keep water out of the holes, unlike some generic seal intended for something else.

For the hole saw, I just used a bi-metal 4.125" when I did mine. This one's nicer than what I've got, and by the time we shipped it back and forth you could have bought this one.
