[fhp1154!]

McMaster Carr offers plain rubber grommets that work great for the rollbars. For the rear leg, you just need to so a little trimming on two of them to get a perfect fit for the oval hole. A bag of 20 - 25 is fairly cheap, too. I gave quite a few away back when I did mine as other builders were looking for them. PM me and I'll be happy to share if I have any left -- will have to check my "left over" pile.

Just to add... I had to close my holes up during the bodywork stage, then open them up just enough for these grommets to fit. If you are past that stage, check McMaster's website for different sizes.

The grommet look is clean looking and authentic. But as mentioned, does make the fit between the body and roll bar a little more critical. The polished metal rings with gaskets many of us use are a bit easier to install. Just depends on the look you want. Metal trim rings are available from multiple sources: Factory Five, Replicaparts, Russ Thompson, Whitby's to name the ones I know about. Since it's a Mk1, I assume you have the 2-inch diameter roll bar vs. the more recent 1-1/2 inch. Make sure whatever you get is for the larger size.
