I think it's from the stamping process. I imagine I got an abnormally ripply one though. Is yours that ripply?

Anyone order new drain plugs? I have a 1981. I wouldn't mind buying new ones. Mine are old and stiff and crusty.

Looks like this little fellow got ripped off. Is he a fiber optic light or something? I'll have to look around. I think there's supposed to be a little white clip to hold him up under the word HEAT
