    Need the plug that fits in the hole in the floor through which you check and add Hydro tranny fluid. I know they're a "high-casualty" item (checked with Jason Fisher and Gene Eshelman) but thought I'd put the word out. Any condition as long as it's mostly still there is fine. Thanks, Bob

    Grim Greaser, I think he's talking about the cover in the floor and your talking about the plug in the tranny itself.

    that's what I mean, the 2 1/2" plug for the floor. I found them somewhere. McMaster has plastic hole plugs to 2 1/2", but I think I found the metal ones too.

    Roger - I could use one of those plugs for my '54. How do I get in touch with you. Also, in some '54's they had a larger rubber plug that you would remove from the carpet to get to this metal hole plug. Do you have any of those?
