Drain plugs on floors

[Nova Jed]

I will pull the ones that I have out and check for you.

Cool.

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

Thanks

All six are the same and shoud be galvanized, at least on Camaro.

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!

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
