    I'm looking for measurements on both the size and placement of the factory floor drains. I didn't document this and the old metal is long gone! I'd really appreciate it, and it'd be super good if I could get it by Wednesday as that's when I'm hoping to get some work done, but whenever works.

    Also some measurements of the location of the brights foot-switch would be helpful, but the floor drains are a bigger deal to me.

    Still on the lookout! It'd be great if I could get some from here but if I need to go find one locally that could work.

    Are you going for "correct"? I can measure my '71 and tell you where those are if you want?

    Awesome! Thank you so much! Last thing, the picture looks like they're ⅞" in diameter, is that correct?

    I don't think I can add much to this thread. Pretty sure there's no change in the location of these until they went away completely for 1976. I recall the last ones used plastic snap-in buttons for the cover pivot (1975 only?), instead of the bat-handle screws of the earlier ones. Seemed cheap n' cheesy at the time, since you could lock down the drain when held by the screw, and they would just flop around with the button. The drains went away entirely in the later model, possibly because holes in the floor are a safety hazard with a top on the Jeep in the event of exhaust leaks.
