I know what a rubber grommet is, but....

If I want some rubber thingie to fill the hole where a rubber grommet used to be what the heck is that piece called? I've tried googling rubber grommet and seeing what comes up with them, but can not find a plug to fill the hole. Yes, I even tried rubber plug, but it lead mostly to porn sites (just kidding -- it lead to the same rubber grommet sites, with no helpful results).

I need a rubber plug thingie to fill the holes where the a/c hoses used to go in my CSL (anyone who would put aftermarket a/c in a CSL should be shot, but that's another story).

now: '72 Inka 2000 touring, '82 Alpina C1 2.3  & '92 M5T (daily driver)

before: a lot of old BMWs (some nice, some not so much), a few air-cooled 911s and even a water-cooled Cayman S
