MG MG Y Type - Rubber plug

I am looking to replace the two rubber plug grommets - one on the gear box tunnel cover (inspection cover for the UJ)and the one over the rear UJ.

They are about 3/16 inch thick in total, and about 2.75 inches diameter with a recess of about 2.36 inch diameter.

Any ideas as to where I can get these are welcome.

Thanks

Paul,
NTG sells the tunnel grommets Cat No R209 at £3.79

NTG indeed.
I remember getting a couple of these from NTG soon after I aquired my YT.
The absence of the rear one had been "cleverly" compensated for by the previous owner taping the lid from a tin of ozzy shoe polish over the orifice.

Cheers,
Saul.

Wonderful - thanks guys. The YA that I am currently tidying up for a new owner here doesnt have anything other than duct tape over the holes!! I wouldnt say they were never look at/used ... but the duct tape is brittle!!

I will get onto Paul Banyard and get some.

Thanks

NTG's R209 worked great on the hole on the front of the gearbox tunnel, but it is about 1/5 inch too small for the hole over the differential. Has anyone found a supply for the rear ones? I dont think the TC or TD had the access hole we do under the rear seat of the Y.

Thanks for the help
