urgent help needed for grommit
I am fitting a peugeot 206 alloy radiator (after market) that you would have thought was a direct replcement.
If differs by not having tapped hole for sender - gotten around that and maybe size of the mounting lugs.
There are 4 of them, 2 top and 2 bottom, each being 10 mm diameter.
I have 2 ropey ones , don't know what from. (on LH side) 
Went to peugeot dealer and bought 4 206 grommets but these are 13 mm I.D. (RH side)
So peeps, anyone know of which car/model had 10 mm I.D. gormmets?
(Mini ones are 5/16" = 8 mm so too small).
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They look like the ones that came with my polo rad,they are attached to the mouning brackets.
I still have them in the garage,i will check in a bit and if they are the right size you can have them.i only have two though.

Been in the garage and checked.
I must have used one for something cos i can only find one.
The ID is 12mm and it looks very similar to the one in the right of your pic.
They came from a 1990 polo by the way,if it's any help.

Have you thought of wrapping the lugs in self amalgamating tape to bring them up to size for the pug grommets, or are they too big for the mounting
holes?

not that but of using rubber hose .... but the lower mountin brackets are made and welded to chassis, don't really want to rdo them, drilling
larger hole isn't gonna work either.
