Cosmetic hole plugs.

Post by Louky »

I intend to relocate the radio antenna, which will leave a hole. Are there flush white plugs available that would fill the hole. I also may relocate the horn and some other electronics, which will leave the screw holes exposed. Is there a cosmetic fix for that, other than just putting a screw back in it?

Thanks for the input.

Rivet caps for old screw holes. Paint over or use stainless ones. Just glue them in.

I've bought these from a local hardware store that stocks a variety of small parts. Somewhere in the Louisville area there must be such an old-fashioned store. The items I got were plastic plugs with little prongs on one side (for the snug fit) and a smooth top for the exposed surface. Another approach if you can reach behind is a nut (interior) that holds a smooth head stainless bolt (exterior).
