Re: Drain plugs on floors
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

Re: Drain plugs on floors
Good stuff Brian. What finish is on the original ones from the Nova you discussed above? Did you refinish them?
Any photos? Thanks!

Re: Drain plugs on floors
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. Brian 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  Mike

Re: Drain plugs on floors
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
