I am putting my car back together. Does anyone know the part number for the 9 plugs that go in the front of the car behind the bumper? Mine are all dry rotted.
Where can I get them from? |

High Performance House - Rich gave me one for a dollar.. but that may be because they were closing up early that day and I was only missing one.
(650) 364-6234 - they ship daily. |

When you buy used ones, be aware that the lip that pops inside the car can rip. The plug looks fine, until you go to install it.
But posting a WTB in our classifieds should get you a stack of them quick and cheap. |

I bought some used ones, not all new looking. But I tried soaking them in diluted simple green for a week and then using a toothbrush oer the surface. Looked like new after that.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Soak 'em for a couple of hours in glycerin. Great stuff for lots of old plastic parts. Don't leave 'em for a long time since I've never tried that. Might be ok but I don't know for sure.

Heating them up in boiling water helps them get flexible enough again for you to install them when hot.
