Default Stainless steel plugs
Does anyone have a source for stainless steel hole plugs? I want a few to close holes I plan to make in my wheel pants to allow me to fill my tires without removing the pants. I can find sources for large quantities, but not singles. Thanks in advance for any leads.

Any hardware store should have them locally, or type"stainless hole plug" in Google and order the size you need.

I tried that, but internet vendors (Amazon, Grainger, McMaster Carr, etc.) only sell in large quantities and local stores don?t have stainless.

Default Nylon?
Why not go with Nylon hole plugs? Grainger has them in packs of 25 for less than $3. https://www.grainger.com/category/ha...ies/hole-plugs

Apologies. That's what we have here.

I'm still on my first set after almost 19 years.
