Anyone here that know anything about FIAT cars?

I recently bought a very old plastic injection machine, 1960~. Usually you don't get any plates/form when buying a machine, but one did follow. I ran the machine for the first time last night since setting up and it made these small plastic caps/pluggs. I have no idea what they are.
I'm just using the Granulat that followed when I bought it. I have no idea if they are supposed to be white.

Sorry for crappy pictures.

They look like 'standard' plugs in many cars for blocking holes but are usually black & rubber. What size are they? (1/2") It surprises me that a car manufacturer would bother to make their own plugs.

I'm thiking along the same lines as AJ, blind rubber grommets.

But more importantly what are you planning to make? or did you purchase the Uzay tooling and your keeping it a secret!!!

Thanks I did contact fiat classic Sweden and the answer was drainage plugs. There are 2 sizes the larger one is 2.5cm, I haven't measured the other but I am guessing half an inch.
The smaller ones are cut off so it only makes the 2 large ones. It seems they made both parts cut off from the beginning opening up the one that was needed. They are supposed to be rubber, I just did them with the granules that followed with the machine, done a bunch for fun now and they are no longer coming out dirty

About the Uzay lol no, I do have plans that will be revealed in time no worries I won't do repros except possibly a better version of my glow in the dark sabers. Currently setting up the water cooling and making the new mold. This is machine is why I've been inactive for a while

The Fiat mold is for sale if someone is interested. It should be from the 60s~ I suspect the machine was sold and the mold followed.

Interesting! I'm working on a project myself to improve one of the original vintage figures. I have most of it modelled up in 3D cad but i've not had chance to finish it off. I need to pull my finger out so I can progress to the next stage rapid prototypes

Nice what machine are you using?

I can only do the CAD/design work myself. I will have to outsource the prototyping. How are you planning to make the molds?

I got my 3d print from shapeways a week ago, confirming that my 3d cad is as it should. It's a cheap way to see everything is alright, now I had removed the fiat mold and going to measure it tomorrow. Basically my new mold will be like the one already on but I hope to be able to put in a die.
To make the cnc cad I simply invert the cad model into 2 blocks.
