You know guys that those plugs are in most all hardware stores and are
available in "inies" and "outies". (yep, just like navels) If you
buy the "outie" you can put a Whitworth Crescent Wrench on it and it
works just fine. As Frank says, put a little teflon tape on it and it
won't leak. Package of two about 69 cents, probably made in Taiwan.
Warning, it will lower your ground clearance by about 1/2 inch. I am
surprised that you Sprite guys don't complain that these messages have
been sent to "MG List <spridgets@autox.team.net>.
It is still 70 degrees here now and I have been for a long ride, guess
the adrenaline is still pumping.
Zoom, zoom where is that woman??
