Blanking rubber grommet

Hi, I need a blanking rubber grommet to block a hole about 63-64mm in 3mm thick aluminium. Does any one know where I could get one from ebay and google have come up blank.
Thanks for looking
PS Sorry mods didnt know where to post this so if it needs to be moved please do so

Thanks for the replies guys,
Loggyboy it needs to be flexible as the steering column passes through it, Eggy I had a look at Grommets but they have a minimum order of £30 unless you know better?

You dont need a sealed grommit then. I see..
With some sealant this is as close to 64mm as i can see
Original 2.125"' (54mm) Lucas Black Rubber Bulkhead Grommet : Part No. 51164621

Alternatively one of these could be trimmed to suit.

What about cutting out a circular shape out of a sheet of closed cell foam and bonding it to the panel or cutting out 2x circles and bonding them to each other with the panel edge in between. I take it it's just for draught and moisture exclusion.
