[Healeys] Overdrive drain plug

[Bob Haskell]

Perry,

The part number for the service tool is 18G708 per BMC Service Tool 
Catalog published by Churchill in 1965.  It looks like a short socket 
(with the ears) mounted on a tube with a tommy bar on the other end.

Rob Nortier sells one he manufactures on ebay, but I don't see one 
listed now (and don't remember his seller's name).

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
