Strut Tower Caps

Hey everyone, I wasn't really sure where to put this, so I figured why not here. Anyhow, does anyone know where to get those strut tower caps? They a plastic plugs that cover the opening to the strut tower. The reason I want them is to:
  1. Give it a better/cleaner look
  2. Protect my camber plates from standing water sitting on top of the plate
TIA

Jaysen

I think they were just called "plastic hole plugs". As I recall, they were with the drawer hardware, *****, etc.
This was back in 2004.

I got 'em on ebay - black plastic - $6.75 shipped for the pair.

They aren't water tight though...

Got mine from American Mini Mates!

I know Doug & Donna from MOTD & MITM thus appreciate their commitment to NAM by being at all major events. They often miss out on many rides to be at their booth to meet & talk w/ Mini people.

Doug is a wealth of information & has directed me to sources for items I never knew about, from stickers to tires.

My vote is you buy from a supportive NAM vendor.

You get what you want & make lasting friends.
