Fairing lower drain plug?

[Ridgeway]

A question to those who have drilled a drain in their fairing lower for wet races...

How big of a hole did you drill, and what do you use to plug/seal the hole when conditions are dry?

I;ve seen 3/4" rubber automotive body plugs used for drain holes.

I drilled a hole about pencil size and use a "christmas tree plug" as we call it in the auto industry. Its a plastic plug that has ribs in the stalk that has aproximatly a 3/4 inch head. Works fantastic. They are usually used to fasten hood pads, inner fender skirts, cowel pannels. ect.

Look me up at BHF next weekend and I will give you one or two of them. Mark B.

I used a drain plug for a boat this insured that the hole was closed off completely. They make these in various sizes.

Am I the only person who has never had a drain hole or plug for it?
