The OEM replacement screws are pretty expensive and I discovered in the prior post that they don't last very long.

Nylon washer with 1.50" Outside Diameter
3/16" x 3 Toggle bolt


Simple and easy.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2817180.phtml">Old Post About finding platic screws.......</a></li></ul>

Good idea! Any worries about not having the one-way drain that the stock plugs have?
