I had no idea that's what they were called. I've been to Lowe's and Home Depot I don't know how many times and never seen 'em.
Maybe Fastenal does.

I recall seeing those plugs at one of the clips and fastener sites. Of course, I eliminated the rack so I have no longer need for them.

Just an example, you'll have to check the hole size and theads on the screws...might be metric

Yup, went to Home Depot and Lowe's today, and Home Depot straight up didn't have them at all, while Lowe's had some, but they didn't look like they'd work because the tops were very thick, whereas the originals were nearly flat.
Gonna check Fastenal and a specialty nut store tomorrow. They were both closed today because of Labor Day.
Check this out in the Auveco catalog. They do list GM wellnut p/n's with the listings. Flip the pages left to see the nutserts

The originals were almost flat because they've been crushed by the rack for 40 years
Good link. M6x1.0 thread @ .787" head diameter, for a half-inch size hole. Should be pretty easy to find at Fastenal. They closed the location near my house, but I've got one right near where I work... so I guess I'm gettin' nuts for lunch!
Also, found out from the Nutty Company (which didn't have the well nuts OR the screws) that the screws that go to these racks are called, "Oval Head" screws. They didn't have those either lol.
You wouldn't HAVE to use metrics, but if you have the OE screws, go for it
I was going to mention that. Reason being: an SAE thread will be a TON easier to find screws for.
