Can I find any anywhere? Can I not. 1" diameter ( so 25mm for the youngsters)

And I need 10. The biggest I can find on Mini Spares is 7/8".

Please point me in the right direction.

Ta Muchly.

I think I remember ordering 3 different sizes to check which fitted best but I can't remember what my conclusion was!

Electrical wholesalers or good diy shops should stock 25mm blind grommets.

What do you think I have been doing before asking on here?

And there are loads out there that are actually crap.

The first link looks good.

Surprised non of the Mini suppliers do any.

You could try the MG Owners Club spares website as they use the same floor grommets I believe

I cut some out of a piece of steel myself. About the size of a 10p - worked a treat. Having said that, if I could have bought some and saved myself some effort I would have :-)
