This has been on the lml before,
but if you, like me, missed it, you are probably cursing every time you change
your oil, if not, you haven’t tried changing your oil yet!
Look at this item
http://saf-air.com/oilv.html ,then
look at it installed on Rob
Logan’s Tweety Bird
Legacy

You can readily see
that there is too much “stuff” immediately below the drain plug to install a
quick drain without worrying about a retraction problem, and “things” are too
close to get the plug out without making a BIG MESS, trust me.
Mike Maher makes them,
and he gets $125.00 for the “angle” fitting. If we can get 4 builders or
flyers who are ready to order, he will make them for $100 each.
Just let me know if
you want one. What is required, other than your money, is for you to
mark the drain plug (after it is torqued and not leaking) on the forward
face, or mark the exact location on the plug that faces absolutely forward
and ship it to Mike.
Mike needs to know where
the plug is in relation to where forward is to weld up the fitting, otherwise,
it would not even make a good fishing weight!
Coordinate with me
offline at rbrice@interlinc.net and
I will coordinate with Mike for the
orders. I will be gone for the Thanksgiving holiday from Monday the
24th not returning until the 4th of December. I
will contact you after I return to let you know if we have enough takers.
Happy
Turkey day to
ya’ll,
Ron
