What Goes In This Hole ?

[FLEET72]

An electrical supply house will have what is called an "oil tight hole seal" http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT...59556&PMT4NO=0
looks like:


made from steel and can be painted to match.

Exactly what I am going to do ..I remembered from my construction days seeing these in electrical panels . You beat me to it as I was going to go today and try and get one of these Fleet72 and show all what I came up with..thanks for the pictures .
Rather than burn up my new paint with a patch and weld this works just fine with me .
I will do my Vinegar trick to galv. on the engine side of the cover and then under coat it and paint it the truck color ..

It will be my conversational cover up story about my truck..LOL thanks again all of you for the replies..gp

The oiltite ones are painted so a quick light sanding and paint sticks quite well to them. I just filled a few holes in a control panel where knobs used to be. I had the local auto paint shop match the color and put it in aerosol cans, now I have touch up paint in a can for any work I have to do on the panel.
