Lock & Ride plugs

I can't find any here locally and I have been to many plumbing and hardware stores and TSC so I found these on line and just ordered four of them

I used the ones from my gas can holders for my Diamond plate storage box so I need some to replace those.

These would be good too http://www.iboats.com/Seasense-S-S-Snap-Drain-Plug/dm/cart_id.888757566--session_id.578285422--view_id.56060

Bobby Walmarts have those in the fishing supplys I got a couple of them,they fit good but the type of rubber thats on them they didn't hold to good pulled back out easily.

Bobby

Check your local auto parts store for 1 inch rubber freeze plugs like would go in a engine block. I found them at Auto Zone and also Advance Auto.

TSC has them in the speacilty rack here

Well I guess I will try them and if they don't hold good I will do something else

Bobby I made mine from 1" test plugs from the hardware store. I tried the Walmart boat plugs, didn't like them. The hardware store ones work great, just remove the bolt and insert an eye bolt or what you want....

Can't find crap here at the hardware stores

I bought some from wallyworld, put in the I-bolt,and added a washer( a little larger than the hole) and nut on the bottom. Works great!

Good to know

thanks for the info

Its not a boat plug , but a test plug that you are looking for , check a a plumbing supply , and it is a old style test plug , the newer ones are more like a boat plug .

I looked at several plumbing supply stores in my area and no luck

Bobby I think them boat plugs you get at Walmart would be ok for holding your box in, I tryed using them to hold my cooler in with a bugee cord and it would pull the plug back out with right much pressure pulling on it.

Found this on Mc master carr ( hope the link works)
