air cleaner plug

Anybody know where to get the grommets/plugs that go into the unused holes in the air cleaner?

I popped the old ones out and shined up my air cleaner. Of course they fell apart and I can't see any numbers on them. None of the parts stores had anything.

IIRC, look in NPD's Mustang catalog. I recall they have recently been reproduced. The other possible sources include CJ Pony Parts and Virginia Classic Mustang.

You might be able to find an assortment of rubber body plugs that would work in the help section at an auto parts store or a good hardware store.

Thinking of something like this...

Thanks HIO. I wish it told the dimensions. That's a little expensive if it ends up being wrong. I need two of them. The hole measures about 1".

You're welcome. How about calling 'em?

Btw, Ford used the same part(s) across multiple product lines so I highly doubt they would have produced new tooling to make that simple part.

Alternatively, surf around to other sites... maybe their description includes the dimension.

If you're patient, I'll look for some the next time I go 'yarding. In the mean time, tape 'er up?

I won't be driving it right now so it will prolly be ok. I'll give NPD a call or drop an email. It prolly does fit it though.

If the hole is outside of the air filter, it won't hurt to drive with the plugs missing. The air entering the engine would still be filtered.

Only thing I was really worried about was water. I like to wash under the hood from time to time. Its a lot easier to fill it with water now if you don't watch.
Plus new plugs would be a finishing touch since its all clean and painted up now lol.
