Beat,
The new grommet looks good. Thank you for researching and posting this - I have to perform the same task on my NDHC. One question - have you fitted the filler cap with the new grommet? - The NDHC cap requires significant clearance between the grommet and the lip - I can't tell if there is enough clearance from your photo.
Thank you

Yes, I did fit the cap. It is quite tight but seems to work.

Re: Daimler Conquest Century New DHC - Filler Pipe Grommet
Well i got a filler grommet from Paul Beck / vintagecarparts - 869.B but when I removed the old one (by cutting it out) I found the new grommet looked too large to fit the hole in the wing. The filler pipe wasn't quite central so I decided to remove the tank, which involves removing quite a lot of trim panels to access the front mounting screws. Eventually with the tank removed it became apparent that the grommet could not be made to fit my car. Beat your photo looks to show a larger opening in the wing than on my car, though both seem to have a metal flange around the opening rather than just a hole cut through the sheet metal.
However I had an old SP250 grommet and this was a perfect match for the DJ254 New Drophead Coupe one. I have ordered a new one of these part number 419522.
The petrol cap is also the same as the SP one.
