freeze plugs?

Just need to know what size freeze plugs to use on the rear iron. I had two missing on this S3 12a I'm rebuilding. I know the ones on the intake are 20mm. These in the back are much bigger. Also where can I get them and whats a good way to install them insuring a good secure seal?
thanks. -R.

Pineapple Racing has them. I think they are 22mm, I can't remember, but they are on that website. I just looked and it's under construction though. Look up Blake Qually on here, he's the owner.

Hope that helps.

YES. I knew Blake, and I know Pineapple has them, however the website has been down for a while now due to some VERY unfortunate cercemstances. I don't want to bother Rob up there. I know he is very busy with the new shop and all. I was just hoping to get an answer here and buy them at a local auto parts store. They are much bigger than 22mm.
