Aye Pat,

Go along to forensics and ask if you can rake through there flask stoppers. If you don't have the 'bottle' for that, then try any hardware emporium for a basin plug and give it a shave with a Surform, a rasp or a course old bastard file. NO! :-X I wasn't insinuating a referral to any actual or mythical TC member, past or present! :)

I wish you success.

My regards, Bill.

Will a demijohn cork work?  I have some of those undrilled I think - if not Morrisons may have some.

Infact you could run a bolt through the airlock hole on a drilled one and tighten up against the cork thus trapping it even more firmly into the port.

I wanted to keep the motor whole whilst cleaning, but I can't get the sheared exhaust studs out the head which means I can't bolt down the blanking plates to seal the motor off. Anybody got a 1" cork??

WHY ?      Wouldnt it be better to sort the studs out first !
Then worry about cleaning and painting.

That'll mean removing and stripping the head to take it to Brian North, then fefitting it to clean the motor, then stripping it to paint/sort out. I'm [being lazy] trying to cut out a stage. ;D
