1.482, 1.485 maybe up to 1.490 kind of hard to measure the way I have the car positioned. Its not perfectly round. Its not over 1.5. This one anyway. How accurate you need??

Hey to be clear hear that measurement is not from an actual 69 Daytona. Guess I missed that part in the topic title.  :rotz:  Its from a XP 69 Charger I have apart and sitting.

Yes you can measure the grommet. But it doesnt give you an exact hole size. It hard to go off of rubber. But i would give you an idea
