[Healeys] Tranny and OD drain plugs

[Rich C]

Keith,

All the early o/d drain plugs have the large hex surface. So much easier to 
deal with than the slotted perimeter design.

Look closely at the donut shaped magnet. I think you'll find that it's a 
layered build up of a number of thin magnets all sticking together.
