Hey guys, I'm back! Well, I never really left, but I've finally gotten back into making these again! For those wondering, I've talked to SID, and he has given me the go-ahead. For those that don't want to read the whole post, I'm selling the solid plugs for $35 shipped, and the drilled/tapped plugs are $40 shipped.
Some of you may not remember me, but I'm the originator of these stainless steel coolant crossover plugs. I used to make and sell them here back in 2011, while I was in the Navy, but then when I got out of the Navy, I didn't have access to The necessary equipment anymore. Well, now I'm back in the game, and I plan to offer these forevermore.
If you're wondering about the purpose of these plugs, they're to replace the insufficiently-designed plugs on the coolant crossover tubes. Many of you have undoubtedly discovered that the OEM plugs like to rust in place. The little square hole on top doesn't give you much of an option with removal. You either break the nub off of your 1/4" ratchet, or you round out the square hole. This leaves you with having to use vise grips or a pipe wrench to remove it, leaving unsightly tooth marks and chipped paint.
My plugs eliminate the unsightly chipped, marked-up OEM pieces, while also giving you the piece of mind that you'll be able to remove it when you need it the most. There's nothing like finding out you need to fill the coolant but can't remove the plug at the highest point of the engine, leaving you chasing air bubbles and an overheating engine.

As mentioned above, I have 2 different versions available:
Solid--direct replacement: $35 shipped
-comes with a Buna o-ring, and a small tube of dielectric grease for the o-ring
Drilled/tapped with 1/8"npt threads--for use with a/m coolant gauge, etc: $40 shipped
-comes with the above-mentioned o-ring, grease, and also a small stainless Allen-head plug.
Please feel free to make a post here and PM me for payment info, or email me at [email protected]. PayPal is preferred, but other forms of payment can be worked out.
