Default trunk and firewall seals/plugs

Does anyone have a source for the plugs that go in the floor of the trunk and the firewall??
I am missing several from the back and there is a hole in the firewall beside the Brake booster that looks to use to the same kind.

thanks

No idea in your part of the world, but I simple went to the local "rubber supplier" with the sizes. They had large containers full of all sorts of sizes, and about $1 each, didnt take long.

Possible still available from Jaguar if all else fails.

Stralia mate.

Got them every where, Clark Rubber and Pool Supplies, Fitch the rubber man, Rare Spares, and that is only in downtown Adelaide.

The USA MUST have similar stores, surely you are not that short of suppliers. I have only ever gone to Las Vegas, but NOT for car bits, too much better scenery to look at.

I do get some stuff from XK Unlimited in San Loius Obispo, and they seem to have a good range of hard to find items, in my opinion.

Another source is the local wrecking yard, ALL cars have these plugs somewhere, and a little stooging around uaually finds all sorts of jewellery, and it does not have to have a Jaguar name on it to be of use on a Jag.

NO afiliation with any names mentioned, blah blah blah, in case I get banned for not saying so, mmmm.
