socorob Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Restoration specialties has tons of stuff, but they are old school. You may have to call them and actually talk to a person if you can't find it on their online pdf catalog. My previous classic car didn't have very much support in terms of replacement parts, but I found several things there that were almost exact or would at least do the job. Just get the measurement of the hole and the thickness of the metal. Seals-it has some good stuff too.

New-to-240z Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Sorry to bring up an old thread, but any idea on what sizes the holes are for the Z? I'd like to replace all the rubber with new ones, and the prices at Auto Hole Plugs is too cheap to not do it Does anyone know how many you'll need and of what size?

New-to-240z Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (2) 1.287" (4) 2.487" (3) 4.106" You sir are amazing. I'm guessing this is true for 240Z - 280Z? (I have a 73' 240Z) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted August 8, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 8, 2013 You sir are amazing. I'm guessing this is true for 240Z - 280Z? (I have a 73' 240Z) It is true of ALL Japanese car's from 1967 to 1981. The floor penetrations were specified by a silly government mandated regulation that was eventually put to rest. Or I could just be ******* with you. Get off your lazy ass and measure your own damn car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New-to-240z Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 As a heads up to anyone reading this, I just called Auto Hole Plug, and they do not carry the plugs needed for our Z :*( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Stainless Steel Electrical Box Knockout Plugs with a ring of silicone work great. I used them on heater core hose holes in the firewall, amongst others. The spring clips have quite a bit of leeway for off-sizing. You can usually get them at Home Depot. Look like these: These are BRASS, but you get the idea! Edited August 25, 2013 by Tony D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
