Default Drain plugs on floors

Does anyone know if there are two different thicknesses of drain plugs for the floors? I think the ones used in the trunk were a different thickness vs. the ones used inside the car.

What is a good source for correct drain plugs? Should they be galvanized?

Thanks

Camaro or Nova no difference in thickness. The repo ones they sell today are thicker. They are a galvinized finish. Some have dates, some do not. I just re-installed the original ones from my Nova yesterday, All pulled from the original green, {yes green} seam sealer. None had dates on an April 69' car. We just prepped Frans 69' Nova today, a January 69' car, all had dates and the same green seam sealer. I have also seen non dated and dated plugs on the same car. They are typically installed with this high side up, but I have seen cars with one or two installed upside down...BKH

Good stuff Brian. What finish is on the original ones from the Nova you discussed above? Did you refinish them?

Any photos?

Thanks!
