I am adding an air grabber set up on my 71 Superbee. I have the FSM but am not sure where the hoses go thru the firewall. Does anyone have a good picture or two showing the location? Also, since there are more than one of these hoses that go thru the firewall, what is the correct grommet I need to thread the hoses thru? I thk I have the correct grommet however it doesn't seem like the ID of the grommet is larger enough to accommodate the 3 hoses. What is the correct grommet I need?
Thanks!

I know that my '70 has a three hole grommet for air grabber vacuum lines. (Picture courtesy of KiwiGTX)

A 3/4" hole in the firewall will fit this grommet.
 
As far I am aware....that 3-hole plug/grommet is not reproduced anywhere.

An easy (but not correct) solution would be to use a correct sized round black bung, and once the hoses are set in position, fill the grommet carefully with black RTV or Silicone and smooth out. Allow to cure fully overnight before moving the tubes.

That will stop any potential gases entering the interior of the car.

It must be reproduced, it comes with the reproduction hose kit that's being sold.
Question is if it can be had individually. I have not see them for sale.
 
Nothing against ac and airgrabber combo. It’s just that the factory dimple won’t work. He will have to drill a hole a bit to the right of the ac hose, like you did.
