Bumper Grommets For Fiberglass ?
I see that Finishline has the bumper grommets for the bumper sleeves, but like others parts they have, their for metal bodies with a groove to for the metal to be placed in ?
So with thicker fiberglass bodies, we need to glue them in ?
Where else can we get them ?

We have them as used by Superformance. The fronts glue to the body, the rear are made to span the thickness of the fiberglass.

A set of eight delivered is $61.02 I will need to measure the grommet hole to confirm the size. |

Are all four the same shape and hole size, or the front & back are different ?

I was able to get the Finishline grommets to fit my Lone Star. The front just slipped in and the bumpers went through fine.
The rear was a 4 hour struggle of grinding and cussing but I finally got them in. It no longer sounds like a bass drum when I hit a bump ( I was sure it was the trunk floor hitting the sending unit).
The rear was snug and I had to use a little Dawn to get the bumpers in but my thinking is that snug rubber has to be better than slamming down on a steel rod.
They look nice and I'm glad I got them in without paint damage. The dog was just sure that I had gone mad.

The holes in my Hurricane body are oval, as they pass through the body at an angle. The hole in the rubber bushing is 3/4". The rod supporting my quick jacks are 5/8". |

Front and rear are different, the fronts are "beveled" as the mount on the angled nose, the rears are "firewall" grommet style. We have the grommets as used on Superformance. |

Great, now all I need to do is measure how big my hole is.

McMaster-Carr sell grommets for 1/4" fiberglass.
Cheap

Those will work for the rear, but the front like Mark said, are shaped differently because of the snout of the Cobra. Since you had a LSC, do you remember how thick the firewall is ?
I want to run a few wires through it with grommets and thinking of a kit like this, as I have others uses for them.

1/4" or a little less.
Most of the kit you buy are for 1/16" sheet metal like you find in cars.
You need to order from McMaster Carr the size you need.
