Filler plug

Post by JWP »

This may be the wrong place to ask but here goes.
I've seen a few later model bugs in the past that have had a chrome filler plug where the antenna goes.
Has anyone ever seen these before? If so any clue where to buy them?

Ace is the place...... (Local Hardware Store)

Maybe even the Bog Box Stores will have them....
I have found them completely missing more than once. - PILEDRIVER

The later models were all black plugs? The early bugs are the chrome centered ones.

Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

The area is curved, so a flat plug may not seal it up perfectly. I welded up smooth.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for and what I'll be looking for until I can find one.
