Steering column bulkhead hole size on my mk2 escort

[frankthefencer]

I have been trying for hours to get my new steering column grommet to fit into the bulkhead. It just doesn't fit. I have measured the hole in the bulkhead and it is 35 mm. My car is an early mk2 is there any chance this could be the same size as a mk1 ???? If so what does a mk1 have ?? This is so frustrating!!!!!!!!!

Numpty......Just remember I know where you live ....... Lol. Seriously measure the actual hole size in the bulkhead mine is 35mm.

Could someone please measure the hole in the bulkhead where the steering column goes through please. I need the measurement with the grommet out. Thanks.
