I have tried to get them from just about every place in Dalby but cannot find 4mm b/grommets.

I have looked on the internet, but cannot find the elusive 4mm size.

The holes were made with a #20 rivet drill bit.

Does anyone know where I can buy and get them delivered by post?

I am going into Toowoomba this weekend and will have a look around., but won't hold my breath

Fred I have tried Repco, they don't go down that small.

Jacycar does not live up here.

You probably need to find a good parts ship in the city.My shop in Perth has plastic orange boxes with all sorts of wonderful widgets(and grommets)
If you can find a vehicle that already has them,then you could try the dealer

might sound silly but if you can get a slightly bigger grommet why don't you drill a hole to match.

Your not as silly as you look. LOL

I have got grommets to fit a 5/16" hole. the holes are high up on the side of the camper trailer and will not cause a problem if I drill out to 5/16".

Good thinking 99.

Boo Boo,

Try Bursons, if they haven't got one small enough individually they will nick one out of a champion pack or they can order in a blister pack of the size you are after.

cheers,
