    Plugging the rear wiper-motor drive hole

    I'm gonna use this, if it will drop-in, and it sure looks like it should - I'm sure someone knows off the top-of-their-head what the size of the opening is, but this is 1.175" @ thread, 1.493 outside - it's a plug for an electrical box, and there are several variants - this one has a nice rubber washer for the seal:









    I'm sure I'm not the first to use these, but.

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    I just used one of the plugs from the fender-well for the trans mount but this is a good idea, too.

    Just had it laying around from another project - I'll try to do some research and or lay hands on some other examples - if I can't get some info shortly, something's wrong.

    Does anyone know how big the hole is, precisely?

    I'll be at work checking out availability before I can take mine apart...

    There is an actual Mitsubishi factory plug for this exact purpose, a guy was selling a few on 3Si a while ago IIRC. Impossible to find now though.

    I'm at work where I can get the info on the plugs, but I don't know what the diameter of the hole is - if someone can give me that info quick I can do a better job of finding stuff here...

    Okay, got it; this baby will do the job - I'd recommend skinning the gasket with RTV to get an optimum seal:
