Default Floor pan drain plugs..

Does anyone know if it's possible to get replacement plugs for the floorpans? I'm talking about the metal ones, specifically for the back seat pans. I removed mine and they are corroded and nasty, and I have no intention of putting them back in. One is right directly above my muffler.

I'm thinking I might just have to weld it shut, or something then...the one is right above the muffler and I can't imagine a rubber one would hold up very well. Crap!

I'm guessing the ones at the junkyard here in PA are going to be just as rusty, if not worse...

If I'm thinking of the right one they are about a inch in diameter I used plastic plugs, after I had lined my floor and repairs some rust. I got mine at ace hardware for about .45 a piece and you have about 25 holes if I remember.

Any pics? There are a few rubber ones, and then the metal ones. I just need the metal ones in the rear...I'm assuming the rubber ones might be easier to come by. Anyone know where I can get those, too?

If you can, and they are rust/corrosion free, I'd take em off your hands!

Awesome! That's just what I need. Did you RTV around them or anything like that? I know the factory configuration had some sort of sealant stuff around it. So, go to Ace and try and find these 1" plugs. challenge accepted.

Nope I didn't used anything around them they fit perfect and are snug too you could put a some rtv if you wanted but I never did. Yea if I remember right it was at ace they were pretty cheap too compared to the metal ones.

I'll measure them just to be safe, and I'll be off to the hardware store to hunt for them.

I think two of them are larger than the other rubber ones, so if anyone has the measurements handy, I'd appreciate it! Then I can go over to Lowe's on my lunch break and see if they had anything similar.

I'll probably be covering the one above the muffler up with some insulation on the bottom...haven't decided yet, but I definitely want to plug my holes, no homo
