58-62: source for little rubber plugs next to wiper motor

[Ian G.]

Does anyone have a source or part number for the little rubber plugs on both sides of the wiper motor mount under the hood of 58-62 cars? I've been looking in my 1959 parts guide, AIMs for 58/59/60, vendor sites, etc and can't figure it out. The little cone shaped plugs just below the bolts holding in the windshield reinforcement rods underneath. The holes for the bolts and plugs were filled with Bondo on my car, so they are long gone. the holes are about 3/8". See below to the left of the wiper motor mount, above the ballast resistor. This is from a '62 I took a photo of.

Yup. Zip has them for a few dollars each.

I was looking at those, but it didn't occur to me to install them upside down lol.
