Default Ignition Wire Seals

Anyone have a source for the blue, two hole versions? ACS only seems to have 1 or 3 in the more affordable version or the $20+ dollar version I'm trying to avoid buying....
I guess I could just get 4 of the one hole.

I got mine at Wag Aero, but they appear to be no longer available there.

Get the three-hole ones from ACS and seal up the unused hole with RTV. Cheaper and lighter than installing four of the single-hole variety. Lighter because the fasteners to install them are the heaviest part.

I can attest that red RTV sticks quite well to these.

They should be in the Spruce catalogue, but they are not where you think they are - they are much further back in the catalogue.

I ordered some last year but cant find them on my order history.

I also got a couple two holes from ACS a few months ago. I'm travelling so can't look up the part number but agree with Mike that there is some confusion in the catalogue wrt part no. / location or something like that.

Yep. I think I erased what I paid for them from my memory bank.

I think that's the plan, thanks!
