Looking for cheap, flanged, plastic sleeve
(OP)
Hey all,
I've been on a hunt for this part for the past several work days. For the life of me I can't recall what this is called in order to make a useful search. When I worked in the transportation industry, there were these flanged tubes that would be inserted in vehicle doorways to prevent wear on cables (now they might use springs). The flange had 2-3 holes used for attachment to B or C pillars. It basically serves as a grommet, but has a lose fit around whatever is being passed through it's center. These were probably polyethylene or polypropylene, something very inexpensive.
Flange ~1.5"-3" diameter
Length ~2"-3" long
Tube~ .5"-1" diameter
If someone can rattle my brain (or provide a source), I'd be most appreciative.

Look at www.caplugs.com,, then look at their SB, UB or OCB Series bushings. Also look at their FBH Series bolt hole plugs, they have longer bodies for a given dia., but you would have to punch the closed end out to use it the way you want.
