Anyone ever run across a reproduction of the square rubber plug that goes below the battery tray on a 67 and up A-body?

It covers the square opening that's about a foot in front of the round shock opening in the photo below.

No rubber plug.

That hole has two purposes. It allows the speed nut to slide in to mate up with the hole behind it to hold the battery tray down & a round drain hole in the battery tray is then roughly centered over the square hole.

Ok, good to know. My car had a chunk of rubber stuffed in there to fill the space when I got it. The rubber is old and dried out so I figured it was original, but it sounds like some previous owner placed it there instead.
