Chassis Hole Block Off Plates

[tablebeast]

I had some of these from a lot I bought on evilbay but now I've used them all up and kind find anywhere to buy more of them online. What I am talking about are those metal plates used to block off a hole in a chassis from where a removed tube socket used to be. You screw or rivet the cover down over the hole. Know what I mean? I've seen them online somewhere before but now I can't even find these things via google. I use them to cover up the holes left by weird speaker connectors on the rears of converted PA amps. Anyone know where I can get some for 8 and 9 pin tubes? Thanks so much. Oh, and what specifically are these things called? I searched Google for everything I could think of with NO luck!

Neutrik makes some in various XLR-cutout sizes.

An alternative (for round holes) is the plastic caps for med-to-large-sized center-screw knobs, if you can find one in the right dimension.

You can use metal hole plugs/end caps, available at hardware stores, Home Depot, auto and motorcycle parts stores and mail order. Sometimes you can even find them with nickel or chrome plating, which looks pretty sharp.

Thank goodness! I knew I saw them online SOMEWHERE, it was at Weber now that you have shown me. Much appreciated.
