Hi to all,
the subject is a 1959 Cadillac. Where can i get the 6 rubber hole plugs for the fender (three on each side, see picture). Caddy daddy has listed them...but they look not really right. I´m also wondering where i can find the ac vent duct (rubber)...see picture.
Thank you!

I believe that part was also used on ‘57 Chevys, and is reproduced by Danchuk.  I may have a part number; I’ll check and see.

Steele Rubber and Rubber the right way have the plugs. The A/C vent duct is another story.

When I have to replace a rubber sleeve like the one on the Heater to blower, I cut up an old inner tube, and cut it to shape and glue the ends together to create what is required.

Very handy when doing RHD conversions and a factory part is not available.

Roger,

I need those rubber plugs also.  I looked at both sites and do not see them.  I only found the Hood to Fender Ledge Bumper PART #:04-107B (Rubber the Right Way).

Rubber The Right Way has the hole plugs listed under "universal rubber and clips-rubber parts-body sheet metal plugs" here is the link to their chart with the size information:

Still wondering if there is a repro part for the ac air vent duct...otherwise i have to tinker something by myself.
