New World Datsuns...

Anyone know if the firewall rubber is still available? Its the oval piece that both the inlet and outlet heater core hoses run thru with the two holes for each hose. Mine has all but disintegrated. And I would like to replace it so it won't get cut thru by the firewall over time.

which car?

i got an extra h20 hose grommet, but it's the 2 hole type
what do 720's use?

the double hole type. where the heater hose goes in and out of the firewall

does yours use a metal plate and screw?
mine are meant to just pop in

give me the measurements of your hole (firewall that is) and we may have a match

no, it was just the rubber piece that pops in. basically has a slit all the way around it and you put it in the firewall. half the rubber on the inside, half the rubber on the outside. IDK dimension :\ It's pouring rain sideways but i can take a pic if you want.

well get out there when it's safe and measure the biotch's hole

also need your shipping addy

cant find my tape

two 5/8ths inch inner diameter hoses go thru it

man that's all kind a fucked up

the one i got is more like 1" holes, so not sure maybe too big?

I have what you want, it's used and not in perfect shape, but it's better than yours and you can have it, just need to know where to send it.


You are going to be fighting them hoses, they are not stock, so it will tear up the firewall gasket trying to get everything nice.
Nissan had a pre-bent set of hoses coming out through the firewall, then made another connection, then they went to where ever the hoses were routed to go.

the inner diamter is 8/ths. IDK about the outter diamater. id guess 1"

ok just holler if wayno's doesn't work for ya

Go, Wayno!!!

what's that flatulence?! never knew it was a competition

damn ok wayno raising the stakes: one heater hose grommet and a 12pack of

I have not heard from him, I don't know what's going on ATM.

I'm down to get one from whomever. datsunmike posted me a part number, apparently you can get the new at Nissan for 2 dollars only problem is I can't see the part so I can't verify its the right one and not the metal one you were speaking of before.

I'll take a used one that won't crumble

The only part that is crumbling on this one is the very thin part, the rest I can twist into a pretzal, it will still seal just fine, it's yours if you want it, I just need to know where to send it.

If I were to guess, I would say that all these heater hose gaskets on the 720 were the same through all the 80-86 years, but I have been wrong before, and likely will be wrong again in the near future, it's all a crap shoot if you ask me.

Sweet thanks!
