[TR] Trying to locate a gearbox top cover detent plug

[Sujit Roy]

I used Randall's method and used a tap to remove the plugs.  In the end, I
went and bought a tap set from harbor freight. For the evey occasional use,
HF will do.

I'll tap a hole and plug it with a bolt.
Do any of you recommend a fine or coarse thread for this project? Should I
use lock tite to keep them down?
