Default 1953 wiring grommets

I have installed a new wiring harness in my 53 Customline sedan. The old rubber grommets the old harness ran through were rock hard and crumbling. I replaced the grommets from the instrument panel forward, but have not found replacements for two grommets. The two grommets I lack are located at: 1 - the base of the driver's side pillar and goes around the dome light wire, and 2 - the bottom of the driver's side of the trunk where the gas gauge wire and license light wire go out under the car.

Does anyone know where to get replacement grommets that will work in these two locations? I have seen advertisements for every grommet in an early Mustang, would one of these kits have the grommets I need?

Thanks!

Here is a picture of the car.

I bought a grommet assortment at Harbor Freight. The kit had a lot of different sizes in it. I used a bunch of them on my 69 Torino.
