Yes, mine were all the same thickness and it had that same "green" sealer. There was also date codes on the one that I pulled, out of the three, and they were galvanized. I wonder where you could get that or how you could reproduce that?

the original ones from my Nova yesterday, All pulled from the original green, {yes green} seam sealer.

FYI, I tore down a 69 11A Nova SS last year and the floor plug sealer was green. Maybe a Willow Run thing
Wish now I had a picture of the stuff

Here is the green sealer as removed from my 69' Nova. You can still see the sag that fell though the hole, sort of frozen in time. Here are the original drain plugs back in place, re-galvanized with Franks own special green sealer. A dead on match. Not one plug on my car has a date, and I was the first to ever remove them...BKH

Looks Great. Where did you have them re-galvanized?
