Turbophil had a butt plug made that seemed to be suitable. He may have finished with it now and have it kicking around spare


he didnt finish with it nic , he found it bit cold because it was made of brass , so he used it to make my bleed valve .

apparently thats why it was so shiny.

Moral of the story - do not buy these dizzy blanking plugs from MRA Minis - they do not fit.

They are in the blocks and they are stuck in there good and proper!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Why a plug anyway ?

I use the spare hole as an extra breather.

At least we can machine our own plugs up knowing that as long they they fit they are not a direct copy of MRS's and will not be classed as 'copyright infringment'. lol

Judging by the thread the other day I would suggest not.

Just to add a little balance to the debate, mine from MRA did fit, perfectly.

We have been here before. It was established that the tollerance on the blocks is not so good. The MRA product only fits some blocks. And dispite lots of threads on the subject they have never changed their design to suite the tollerance. As far as I know.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.
