a three quarter inch diameter rubber plug !
Re-doing my carpets, seems that the rubber plugs that fill that nice little
3/4 inch hole in the floorpans and the jackwell are gone... causing moisture
to come up and rot away my insulation etc...
Anyone know where I can find some of these plugs ?... I have been searching around but found zip so far...

I was missing one when I did my carpet. I used a little plastic cover from a battery terminal - the little black and red caps - I just siliconed it in. It maybe not as durable as the original, but the car is not out in the rain anyway. Kind of a bubba fix, but it seems to work

You might check at the local parts stores like Pep Boys, Autozone, or Advance Auto. They have a section of "red carded" parts that hang up. I think they call it the "Help Zone". They have all kinds of odd parts like that just waiting for the right buyer.

I think the original part is not a solid plug, but a plug with a hole in it partly covered with a splash shield. The hole is there to allow moisture to escape...probably in case of heater core leak or beverage spills, while the splash shield is there to prevent water from splashing up into the floor. A solid plug would be better than just an open hole of course, but I'm sure you can find some drain plugs somewhere.
