Hi Steve,
I use this: http://home.att.net/~howersl/mg/mgbolt.jpg
The bolt head is 13/16in. The 4 sides are ground at a slight taper to
the bolt shank. Sort of like a cone, but with 4 straight sides instead.
The Moss catalog has better instructions. Seat the bolt with a deadblow
hammer and use your ratchet/socket to remove the plug. Probably best to
take the car for a spin before you remove it to get the gear oil
flowing.
Scalectrix MG added for no other reason than my 4 yr old left it on the
kitchen counter after a hard days play and I thought it looked most
appropriate next to the bolt :-)
