Just a shout out to Roger's Tii for having 2 hard to find parts:

1. The round Sheet Metal Floor Plugs. Impossible to find elsewhere, and a bargain at $12.31


2. CV Joint rebuild boots for $11. W&N sells them for 32 Euro ++.

I’m confused- why put those plugs in a coupe when the correct ones are available? I think I would rather pay the extra 10 ? bucks and get correct ones.

BTW Roger has been a very good source for hard to get parts for a long time. Much appreciated by many in the community. Still- those are not for coupes.

Don, where do you get the correct ones? [Roger's site lists the same one for E3, E9, and 2002. Is that not correct?]

Excuse my ignorance....but what are the plugs for?? Draining water out of your car ?? or access to some part underneath the car ?? I put new floors in my car from W & N and they just had the imprint (solid) makes sense..... then no road water can get in. Maybe someone can shed some light.

Strange....such a big hole for such a small amount of paint. It's a pity they didn't Hot Dip Galv the bodies........................would have cost "us restorers" a lot less in metal fabrication down the line. Thanks for the info Don.

Yes, please add me to the list @sfdon. I will confirm via PM if it's two or four needed.

Are both the front and rear the same size? Thank you.
