Does anyone know where I can obtain a set for my vehicle?

If you are talking about the floor drains, Jungle Jims and Kaiser Willys both list them.

It looks like both have a metal cover with wingnuts. Is this correct? Do I need one or two, and how is it even installed?

The drain on each side is 2 holes. The drain cover plate mounts with a screw between the holes. You turn the plate to cover the holes or you turn it 90 degrees to expose the holes. One plate for each side of the jeep.

John at Midwest Military sells the drain covers and the rubber gaskets.

Just ordered them from John. I was going to order from Jungle Jim, but I noticed they were twice the price, and they don't have the rivets or seals, just the metal covers.

They hold the rubber to the covers.
