Specialized 2016 Diverge carbon (Expert?) front/BB cable stop
I have a 2016 Specialized Diverge (Expert?, all the CF frames were the same) that came with a 105 drivetrain. I converted it to Di2 on almost day one.
I replaced it with a Routt 45 late last year, and realizing now I should sell the Diverge while gravel is still a thing. :-) I kept all the parts (at least I think!), and got the derailleur cables back through the frame (including the foam sleeves in the downtube) however scratching my head at where the front derailleur cable stops. I vaguely recall wondering how I was going to get a Di2 grommet into the frame, so I assume there was a bushing in the frame that I was able to push out.
Anyone have a picture of what I should be looking for, and/or the official Specialized part name if I need to buy a new one? I've searched around and only found the equivalent for Tarmac's.
Thanks!

Honestly, you're near certainly either going to have to contact Specialized directly or work with a Specialized dealer.

Ya, I agree. After a lot more Googling and finding nothing, and a several hours of turning the garage upside down, I'll just hope I can order the part from a dealer. That or the bike will be sold as a 1x11.
