Under-body plugs

Has anyone found a source for proper size plugs for the huge holes on the inner rockers. I never understood why they just had basically duct tape to seal the hole. I measured and bought some plugs a while back, but they were too small to snap into the hole. I think that I bought 2” plugs before, but the holes are slightly bigger. I think the next size up was like 1/4” larger. Hopefully the members know what holes I’m talking about. I’ve cleaned and reapplied gorilla tape, but it is gone by the next winter on some of the holes.

I've used this site since finding them some years ago: https://www.clipsandfasteners.com/ Poke around there as they have many, many different items especially the complete AuVeCo catalogs of parts.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, I know I’ve been on that site before, there is a lot to look at, but never looked for body plugs. I’ll give it a go.

Duct tape is cheaper than rubber. That’s why.

I don’t have one, but I have a friend who has a brother that has one. Trouble is, he is about 20 miles from here.
