Realoem is your friend.  They certainly were available from dealers.

I don't think so as I'm sure there are drains underneath.

Let me know if you find any cheap, I paid nearly £20 for 10 from my local main dealer.

Re: little rubber grommets in side steps
I'm considering replacing the side sills - does anyone know if they come with the Gromits?

Re: little rubber grommets in side steps
One of our esteemed Bretherin here, pinged all his step grommets out, then sanded the steps to near perfect appearance... refitted the grommets & All looked Fab.
There is an article in these columns some where last summer or earlier - the result was pretty good I believe...
I've been itching to re-work my side steps, as they are pretty manky... summer will soon be here again - (I hope)

Might be worth a shot before forking out on a new set - it's an old car after all.
