I have the original metal insert in the dash but not the plugs for the two holes where the knobs come through. Any suggestions for a source for those hole plugs? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | Post an ad in the Swap Meet. Next if you want something to get you by find a couple short, hole size appropriate carriage bolts at Ace (preferably without a code embossed on the face). | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 863 | Bob Cedar Falls,
I got my radio knob hole plugs on E-Bay! Cheap....Less than $5.00

I have the original radio delete plate and the threaded plugs that go with it if you need them. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
