"plug" for a DC jack hole

[mordechai]

I've got an enclosure with a hole drilled for the DC jack, but the circuit I came up with runs strictly on a battery.  Does anybody know where I can find a plastic plug to cover up the hole (maybe something with a bit of a domed top like a thumbtack to keep things looking neat)?

is it for those massive 12m dc jacks....or the 8mm...?

ive whacked leds with a bezel in unused holes before!......might get away with a 10mm led and bezel if its the ridiculously large dc socket hole!...

12m dc jack... woah... perhaps it would have a power rating of 2 jiggawatts

I've used some of the Fig. B type plugs to fix unwanted holes and they look really good.

You could always connect the battery to a jack and mount it external to the stompbox.  This would give you more room inside and let you use cool technology like rechargeable Ni-MH or lead-acid gel cells.

Or just add an extra pot where the hole is.  You can always find a use for one, even if it's a "dying battery" simulator 50 ohm pot in series with the battery.

Easiest way is to cover the hole with blue painter's tape on the outside of the enclosure, fill the hole with JB Weld, put the enclosure (hole side down) on a flat surface. Let it dry, remove the tape and you'll have a clean, smooth fill on the box exterior.

Check the misc drawers at lowes, home depot or your local hardware. They should have plastic hole plugs in various sizes.
