In my 78, what goes in the hole in each floorboard and rear compartment? Is it just a rubber grommet and if so, does it just push in from the top side. Everything is out of my interior and I am trying to close up the holes so I can insulate the inside. Where can I get the grommets?

Are you talking about the holes in the center? I have a 69, but there is a drain plug in the battery box and in the floor pans. It's just a cheap plastic drain plug.

Yeah, hopefully they're in center and not rusted thru elsewhere....they're called floor pan plugs and cost about $7.00 set.

Yea, I am talking about the round holes and none of mine are rusted. Is the battery box one plugged or a drain? Where can I buy some locally at?

The 77 has a drain hole in the area where the seat belt retractor attaches to the floor. That should not be plugged.

The center holes for the floor pan on both the passenger and drivers side can use a grommet plub sold by ZIP and the other Vette product dealers. I believe the center hole for the battery storage is left open for drainage. Some aftermarket alarm systems make this a risky situtation as the perp will drill a hole in the battery thru the hole to drain its power and no alarm. Just depends on system, but plug the pass compartment especially if you drive during rain.
