Dave, great pics. I think you are doing the caps for the Super 10 Mike is building for me right now. Love the pics! Would have loved to do a 12 bolt but wanted 3.08's. Great work you are doing there.

Nice looking parts (and I like that they aren't a 5/8 square head )

Fill plug has 7/8 hex so you can use the socket or wrench of your choice.

Merry Christmas to all and have a safe and happy new year. I would like to give 5 sets of fill and magnetic drain plugs
as a way to maybe help this year end on a brighter note. Maybe have people post their projects and have the group contribute to picking
winners for their efforts. Both plugs are stainless alloy and magnet is rare earth magnet in drain plug.
Lets see some projects.

Hey Dave,
Nice post and update to your old thread.
I don't need any of the drain plugs.
Are you still manufacturing the U-Joint caps?

I have VBP struts rods I'll give to anybody interested. Only the rods with heim joints unless you want the stock brackets.
You'll need 2 5/8 to 1/2 inch reducer bushings and you'll be good to go.

Only having shipping cost can't be that bad.
