Transmission hump oval hole plug

[56sedandelivery]

So I can find the 1.5 inch and 1,25 inch plugs but cannot find the oval plug anywhere. It measures 3.7 x 1.93 inches. Only thing I find is part number 12128. I can find this at Larrys T-Bird but does not say it will work on the car also. Anyone know if this is the same as for the full size car?

Not sure if its your exact size, but they all have one. 2 more of another size on the sides of the cowl down lower.

They do not have it. The ones in the link are smaller then the original.


I found one at Larrys T-Bird but do not know if it will work on the full size car. Inquired to see what they say.

Where does the plug go, on the trans tunnel or floor pan?

It is on the pass side of the hump towards the front. It is the open oval hole

I'll bet the T-Bird rubber plug will fit.
As near as my trifocals can see my trusty tape measure, this hole in the trans hump of a '57 Bird measures 3 & 5/8 by 1 & 15/16 inches.

Are those available from the BIRD SUPPLIERS? Save me time looking for a FORD PN that is no longer available.

EDIT -

Found It! Had to go to early MPC ISSUE - Not in FINAL ISSUE

For everyone's knowledge the one for the T-Bird is the same as for the car. Bought one and it is a perfect fit. Only difference I see is the original has a metal insert in it and the new one does not.
