Core Plugs

[Editorgary@aol.com]

In seeking a replacement for the blown-out core plug in my MGA race car, I 
paid a visit to my local NAPA store. After some creative searching through 
their 
parts books, we came up with a part number for a copper screw-type expansion 
plug in the correct 1 5/8" size.
Balknap 600-4028. 
They're about $4 and look like a good addition to a spares kit, since they 
can be installed as easily as the rubber emergency core plugs and will be as 
permanent as the pound-in kind. 
Cheers
