What is the part number for that rubber plug? Is it even available now?

My car is a long way from a concours winner, but I like it to have all the original parts, or improved parts. Over the years I have had a few people ask about that plug when looking at the engine. Most of them look at me like I am making it up when I told them it was a factory only test plug, and had no purpose at all after the day the engine went down the assembly line.

A black plug would make it harder to see, and fewer questions about it. I have though about just removing it. In the end, it is a really minor thing.

I am just amazed that Porsche spent even one dollar, or Deutsche Mark, to put it on the engine, and use it only once.
