Fixing / filling holes in body . . .

[Ddk2001]

I'm getting ready to prep my HMMWV for paint - and am thinking about filling some of the holes it's acquired over time. I've attached pictures of a few - some remain from where the antenna bracket was, others from where the troop carrier apparatus was, others are in/on the tunnel.

I seem to recall seeing an aluminum plug of sorts that filled the hole where the antenna mount was - but now cannot find it. Has anyone ever seen it?

And the rivet holes - I have a pop rivet tool for smaller rivets - but not for the bigger rivets. If you've filled them - what have you done?

Thx

I picked up some appropriately sized plugs from Lowes, they had metal and plastic of different sizes in the hardware section.

Google 'plastic plugs' and there are a few sources. BLowes and Home Deport have some in stock in the nut/bolt/automotive drawers, although small selection. Right of doghouse on tunnel uses a metal backer and rubber grommet shaped like the hole... holds the radio power cable/etc in place. Couple different styles. epay search under HMMWV grommet will turn up something.. or the TM's for NSN. Also the metal bracket for the grommet... if you plan on installing power cable anyway.

The oem plastic plugs are made by Caplug. For the radio holes by the passenger seat and the rear passenger wheel well I made these.

Just 1/8 aluminum sprayed flat black. Kinda ghetto, but it works.
