Igniton wire pass through seals
I am working on my baffles and need some ignition wire pass through seals for two wires. Spruce has the slick brand for 28$ each which is ridiculous. I found some for 7$ but the wire holes are 8mm, is this to large? I plan on running Pmags but have not been able to find the wire diameter. Also if anyone has another source for these it would be appreciated.

I'm running PMags with autoplugs in my -4. The ignition harness provided with the PMags is 8mm dia wire.
Good luck.

You might consider just using rubber grommets. Works for me.

Too much $$$
You could always buy 2 of the three hole variant, and use the extra hole for cables, wiring, or just seal it off..

I think, but not certain, that some plug wires are 8mm in dia. Just assemble the seals and drill 'em to the right size.
Cheers!

Don?t worry about it. If too small, grab your drill and bit. If too large, RTV is your friend when baffling....

If the holes are too small, and mine were, just drill them out.
Grommets are a great idea but make it difficult to slide the head of the of the wire through the small hole.

Used the slick ones from spruce with my PMags. Touched the holes up with a reamer. Works great.
