Also shows BD15588/5 so they were obviously used interchangeably.

Dave ~ I've literally read the SPC cover to cover 100's of times during my restoration & got used to finding things.

These clips are out of SPC Revision November 1970 because I have it electronically. I also have the green one in hard copy.

You are spot on Rob with the photo of the metal plug with lugs, the ones I have left in my boot well are metal with the lugs and the one missing you can see two lug marks on the edges of the hole, so all mine were originally metal. Built 15th July 1965 dispatched 9th August 1965 a strike period perhaps !!.
Incidentally Glyn, I have looked all through my Jaguar parts catalogue the green one, publication No J.35 and I could not find that part, in fact several times now you have found part numbers I cannot find, are you using a different parts book ? or some other method to find various difficult parts ?.
You seems to be able to come up with pictures and parts number without a problem, brilliant !!.
Cheers
Dave J.

Someone did say that around the mid sixties there were so many strikes in the Jaguar factory and with the supplies that it was a case of whatever was in the bin went on to the car. Good job B&Q was not around at the time! We could have had anything fitted. Sounds like the Johnny Cash song "One piece at a time" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws-_syszg84

Yeah, but Dave J's is a '65 build so who knows?

Jag obviously changed from metal to rubber at some time during production.

Possibly the other way around Glyn. From rubber to Metal as mine is a later car and Davids 1966 original car has rubber grommets.

Thanks Rob & your metal plugs are BD19721 and Barratts have stock. (Your pics show the little holding clips clearly)

I have just climbed under my car and taken these photos. Great when you have a white car.
The plug at the rear of the boot is a 25mm o/d rubber plug possibly in a 22mm hole.
The two side plugs are 22mm holes with metal plugs in them. When I get a chance I will take the spare wheel out and take a photo from inside the boot.
There is no plug in the centre of the spare wheel well.
I have no reason to doubt these are original as I have never touched them and I see no reason for my one previous owner to have removed them or replaced them.

BD19721 shown above is the only steel body plug that size in the parts catalogue with some cars using 6 of them.

Barratts personnel don't know what they have or don't have. Barratts computer record of stock, however seems accurate. The only way is to search their new site by part number from the SPC.

Thanks for confirmation David of your car. 22mm rubber blind grommets do the trick.
