Replacing the Grommet for a Pro Staff 6.1 Hyper Carbon 95

I searched all the main tennis suppliers/the bay and could not find a replacement grommet for the "Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 Hyper Carbon" with the 95 sq. in. head size and 16x18 string pattern. I called TW and they told me to try the Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 BLX 95 grommet instead although they weren't completely sure. Before I buy it though, I was wondering has anyone else tried it or know of where I can buy the original grommets for this racket?

I think they are right, though I haven't done it myself yet. They all have the same drilling pattern from the original PSC6.1 until they introduced "parallel drilling" in the version after BLX and the part code is probably the same anyway. It is the same mould. The grommets even fit some other company's racquets which are based on it but don't have the PWS. I made the mistake of buying K-factor version which will fit but are "holey" rather than solid on the bumper.

Owned every PS 6.1 95 16x18 up until the first BLX (which I thought felt like hollow crap). PSC-Hyper-Ncode-KFactor...all grommet sets interchangeable...did it many times.

easy interchangeable?
I ask Because here I was told so with prestige fxp-microgel ,but had to use boiling water and it was so hard to fit that I took breaks because of hand pain
