Cable splitter gromits

I have an S&S coupled Touring bicycle. The cable splitters have rubber rings or gromit's on them to protect the finish of the bicycle or the splitters. Mine have disappeared. All but one cracked up one are gone. Does anybody know the size or were I can find some.

Looks like rubber O-rings, you can buy a large assortment fairly cheaply at Harbor Freight https://www.harborfreight.com/search...g%20assortment

Figure out your size from the chart. (you probably can fudge a bit)

If you have an industrial supply store, you should be able to buy a pack.
Stores that sell/repair hydraulic pumps, hoses, bearings etc.

Many have service counters in the back with huge assortments of nuts, bolts, and small parts. The beauty is you can bring a sample and shop for a match. Then buy right quantity of EXACTLY what you need.

I found a package of 6 with a 7/16" OD X 1/4" ID X 3/32" and they look the same as the one remaining gromit.
