floorboard question

[xjcrazy09]

Ok so i was looking for holes and leaks in the interior of my Comanche. I noticed what i believe is a drain plug in the floorboard was old and worn out. I popped it out to see that there was some kind of seal on it. I'm guessing the seal the factory put on it. How do you replace these? How to get a good seal? Advice? Thanks in advance

 

This is the hole on the passenger side that where the plug came out of

 

This is the piece that came out

 

just a small hole from rust.

You can order new plugs from here for 1.25 each. I'm not sure if they need to be sealed but If they are supposed to be sealed you could put some RTV on them before you put them in.

You can also get them in the HELP! section of your local AutismZone or Advance Auto.

Or if you plan on hercing (or similar) you can get the drain plugs they use on boats and use them to let water out if you ever dunk it.

 

Something similar to this:

 

 

Tighten it and it pulls the rubber up and seals the hole.

Where do you buy those?

Question #2 are those plugs in the floorboards located at the lowest point in the cabin so water can escape through them?

We get them at our local boat supply store. I'm sure you can find a source for them online.

 

Yes they are pretty much at the lowest point.

 

I will also add that we've put them in upside down (front underneath). That way you don't have that little tightening rod sticking up in your floor. They than set much more flush that way.

 

I've also seen them with a little hinge type handle on them at our local hardware store. I"d assume that they work the same way...

I looked on that team cherokee website and it only showed 1 1/4" and 2" plugs, am i measuring something wrong because when i measure it showed it was a little over 3"?
