Eskimo auger parts

My Eskimo Shark Z71 has started leaking gas when I filled it and gave it a run to prep for the season start.
The grommet which allows the fuel line to pass through the gas tank wall has cracked causing the gas leak It leaks when running if gas tank is more than half full or when laying machine down.
Discovered from online research, they are known for this issue. The Fuel tank grommet cracks and leaks after a couple of years. About same time that warranty expires.

Anyone know where to get Eskimo auger parts in Canada at a reasonable price?

All I need is the grommet which is about $3 US.
However since most US companies do not ship outside the main 48, the only spot to buy is getting the fuel line kit from Amazon Canada for $49.
Or $10 for the Chinese sites for gamble that parts may be similar fit, similar quality and that it will arrive before ice season is over.

Don't want to come off as cheap but, but not happy about paying over $49 plus tax for a part that is valued under $3.
$49 is for the fuel line kit. The fuel line and the rubber grommet kit. Is just the rubber grommet that is needed.

Considering doing a heavy duty MacGyver fix and hope Eskimo creates a Canadian parts dealer before needing parts again.

Will try 2 stainless fender washers, stainless bolt & nut and a few gas approved rubber washers. Drill an off set hole for the 1/16th fuel line to pass through (upgrade fuel line to better if needed). Stainless washer, rubber washer, fuel tank wall, rubber washer, stainless washer. Tighten bolt/washer till gas doesn't leak.

Overall happy with the auger. Discouraged that parts in Canada are so difficult and expensive to get considering how many ice augers are purchased annually in Canada with a very common (and not better solved) issue.
And what if I would need to buy the $49 fuel line kit every 5 years, just to keep replacing the rubber grommet?
