Default Stick it in all 3 HOLES!

How can I cover these 3 holes when I take my passenger floorboards off to make it look better? I normally leave them on at all times, but thought since I'm headed to PCB solo I would just take them off but these 3 rusty old holes look like ****. Any ideas? I would put the one chrome bolt from the boards back into 1 of the holes, but it only goes in about 1/2 way.

Most local hardware stores have those push in plastic plugs with the nice smooth round tapered flush heads. I picked mine up at my local Aubuchon Hardware. If you can't find any let me know. They are only .25 ea. I only needed them in the lower holes because I use stock passenger pegs instead of boards. I cleaned up the rust and touched up the holes with black touch up paint before plugging them. They did not rust again. I've used these plugs on other spots on the bike as well. Cleans things up nicely and keeps them from rusting in the future.

07FLHT and elfnyc beat me to it. Those are them!

Button head bolts, I painted the heads gloss black on mine before installing, they blend right in with the frame!
