[Spridgets] Air pump ports

[Jim Johnson]

Hey! Hey!  Don't drag me into this!!  After sitting at the bar in LotO with
Peter, I'm not sure I can keep up!  I put some hardware store bolts into the
air ports of my 1968 1275 head that work just fine. They are pretty ugly
though...   I think I'll run up to Fastenal tomorrow and see about those
allen heads instead now that you guys have worked out all the kinks in
this....   ;-)

Cheers!!
Jim
