Ha....yep.....you know what I would do in the case of a NOS drain plug

I would take it to my grind wheel or even a flat file in a vice for about 10 seconds

That would then be MNOS....not a case of get the right tool....but a case of get the right Drain Plug

My best little modification is on the Belt Tensioner with a flat file (a 10 second modification) to allow this very cool Belt Tensioner Pulley to spin like crazy.
I do not like plastic stuff....DO like Billet Aluminum stuff (Oil Fill Cap, Dip Stick Handle, Belt Tensioner Pulley are examples)


I am NOT an NCRS person either
