DJ194950 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Posted November 6, 2020 Ya' talking about one of those weird 5/16" counter sunk head plugs? Might be. Have been seen here before. Most have gone to the hardware store and bought 5/16" square stock key way material and used various tools to fit it to turn it out. May help to tap strongly on the end of the stock before trying to remove! DJ Quote

keithb7 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Posted November 6, 2020 After I’ve bent over a fender for a few hours, I sometimes think that might be how my back will feel everyday at 70! Quote

It is "pipe wrench". Screw the jaws down tight and smack the end of the handle with a hammer. Quote

IF it's not too late to cancel that purchase,you might want to look for a plug the right size at a hardware/plumbing store. Probably be less than a dollar. Quote
Ranger Posted November 7, 2020 Report Posted November 7, 2020 Hey, 70 isn’t so bad. Figure I’m just in my prime. And I don’t have that tool either. Quote
keithb7 Posted November 7, 2020 Report Posted November 7, 2020 My original plug was screwed up pretty bad from various people trying incorrect tools to remove it. I took it down to the hardware store and matched up a external square drive plug. Easy to remove now. The judges at Pebble Beach will never see it. Works for me. Quote
Booger Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Posted November 7, 2020 that makes alot of sense to me. Many moons ago I tried to sneak "the Bean" my 49 plymouth biz coupe (named so after the color of a garbonzo bean..and round) onto the 18th fairway of Pebble where they hold the Concours d 'Elegance. I was prompty asked to leave by Monterey County Sheriffs dept. my car every bit as nice as the Dussenbergs and Cords 1 Quote

Canada. My mother and her sister both visited several times over the years. Both have passed but I still have mom's address book. I was last up to Hope area around 1970 or '71. My grandma's family came west to Ca. for a few years ( way back in time) then moved north to Canada. My grandma said too cold. And at 16 or 17 came back to Ca. to stay. Her brothers and sisters (5) stayed around Hope B.C. and spread out somewhat. How far apart are those places from Pebble Beach, B.C.? Then again a trip to Pebble Beach Ca.-about 2 hours or so sounds good also! ? A bit warmer! Sorry for so far off topic! DJ Edited November 8, 2020 by DJ194950 maybe to far OT? Quote
Booger Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Posted November 8, 2020 the Concours d"elegance is no rat rod show. Held on the 18th hole of historic Pebble Beach CA its a big deal and the cars are breathtaking. maybe theres an Airflow out there but thats an all together website, (I saw the Airflow club drive through Carmel one day, Wow!) so Mecum auctions can take a hike, we love ya but we drive our cars Quote
