Bri K. Posted February 14 Posted February 14 DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE YOU CAN PURCHASE THESE BLANKING PLUGS FROM..? Cheers.
pipsyp Posted February 14 Posted February 14 They are like rocking horse poo nowadays. Not sure if there is a genuine part available as I'd quite like one too. @Picasso any idea chap, you're really good with Toyota EPC!
Rojie Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Perhaps you could try to fit a suitably sized rubber grommet. One without the hole, of course ! 1
pipsyp Posted February 14 Posted February 14 My suspicion is that there may have been a 3rd party (not Toyota) part made at some point, which did the rounds for a while, sadly years on we've probably missed the boat. Not overly bothered, as on a black car it hardly shows anyway, but I agree with the chaps, something could probably be fashioned for it. Worst case could take it to a body shop and get them to fill and paint it?
smurf Posted February 15 Posted February 15 It is possibly something that could be easily made on a 3D printer these days. 1
John Harrison Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Hi. Either a floor bung, if it is round, or as I did on my old Toyota Townace Noah, I made an aluminium plate, painted it ans pop riveted it on with some sealer under it. It worked fine! John Harrison. Wallasey.
pipsyp Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Another option.......shape up some Miliput putty, paint it and either glue/silicone it in place. Would probably work quite well (is great stuff). I used it to repair the lower door sills on an old A3 I had......they were prone to having the ends snapped off when people opened the doors out onto things carelessly (pavements mainly!) but I found this stuff could easily be fashioned into the right shape and would attach itself on ok and provide a solid fix and once painted you could hardly tell they were ever broken.
