Source for rubber grease plugs - Dexter 85-1

newbury · Jun 24, 2021

Between my BIL and I we've about 24 axles that use the little Dexter plugs (Rubber Grease Plug for EZ-Lube Bearing Dust Caps #085-001-00 32640).
In the Mississippi climate they seem to rot out in a few years. Almost everyplace stocks them in twosies and foursies.
I'd like to buy about 4 dozen.
preferably actual Dexters, rather than cheap chinese
/edit - to clarify does anyone know of a good source these where I can buy the in bulk inexpensively? Like about $1 apiece or less.

You would think after all these years someone would have made these out of a UV resistant material. I carry spares in my glove box.

Might be a good project for someone with a 3D printer?

Almost a winner- except they are in Canada and shipping for 24 would be $70 and up.

Sorry, edited the post
Looking for a good source to buy them in bulk for about $1 or less.

Since I don't use the trailers much I might just use duct tape.
I hate spending even $1.50 for that little piece of cheap rubber.
