Default Tie-rod grommet source?

Hi all! Last summer when I was doing my suspension rehab I also put in new steering rack boots but didn't notice until after the old ones had gone into the trash (there's a lesson here...) that in addition to the boot there's a grommet at the outside ends. A) new boots don't come with new grommets, and b) the grommets don't show in my copy of PET.

Does anyone have a source or a spare set? At the time I kludged a fix with some rubber tubing but now that I have to pull my rack for a reseal (hmmm....) I'd like to try and fix it sauberlich.

Thanks in advance!

Some imagery for those of you who don't know what he is referring to.










I'd try a dismantler or maybe check PET for some of the older cars, it might be a 999 part #. Possible ask on the Pelican "911 Technical" forum.

I just replaced my steering rack a week ago and did the exact same thing. I tossed out the rubber boots along with the grommets. I'm also searching for the part number. Hope someone can help.
