Would anyone know of a UK source of 35mm diameter rubber blanking grommets? These are for the underside of the BX, most of mine are perished. There are plenty on eBay, etc. but all from China and with long delivery times.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I've not used them, so can't vouch for them. Hopefully you need 50, because that's their minimum order.
Alternatively, there's these guys, but you need to place a minimum £30 order.

Maybe you could cashback by ordering a batch larger than you need and then sell off the extras on eBay to people who only want one or two?

Re: Grommets
If you are not bothered about originality, an electrical wholesaler may have something.

Re: Grommets
Thanks for the suggestions. The Grommet Company will actually send out up to 5 free samples, so I'll do this to make sure they fit OK.
