What are my options? The best choice is to drill and tap them for pipe plugs. The best kind of pipe plugs to use are the brass ones with the Allen wrench sockets. Berg sells these, and maybe RIMCO, too. Or you can probably find them at a good hardware store. Brass is the best choice because it expands and contracts with temp about the same as the case. If you just use common steel plugs they will work loose and leak. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
