Does anyone know where I can obtain small quantities of assorted hole bungs. I'm only talking cosmetic stuff here. Rather than fill and sand small holes I've drilled in the superstructure (and now no longer need) I want to insert a white plastic or rubber bung. The holes are generally between 3mm and 6mm
Thanks
Mike

any good motor factors will sell packets of various size blanking gromits,they should do the job

Excuse my ignorance but is a motor factor the same as a car accessory shop? eg Halfords

Partco or Brown brothers Mike, they sell assortment boxes, a lot cheaper than Halfords.

You can also make a neat job of it with a dab of Sikaflex and smooth it off with a wet finger.

Get a piece of 5mm mild steel plate. Drill the required size hole through it, countersink said hole both sides. Cramp in a vice, find scrap timber and whittle to approx size of aformentioned countersunk hole, hammer timber through hole and obtain from the exit side as much 'hole bung' as you require. You can use stiff rubber or plastic to.

Drill an assortment of holes in the same bit of steel plate and keep it in your toolbox!

With this nice warm weather a gel-coat repair kit will have your holes sorted and invisible within an hour.
