Vince,
Yeah, I saw the same thing called a "Piggy Back Plug". Nice brass unit with
heavy duty rubber gasket in the middle where the smaller drain plug fits in.
I will look at that again. The drain plug in the bike now is in there it is
just a bit loose, not so's you can turn it with your hand, you still need a
wrench but can't go too far with it. THanks again. Bob

Bob,
Been there, done that. But I did not feel comfortable with the rubber
plug. Down at the local Auto Barn I found a self tapping plug
approximatly the same size with a smaller central drain plug. It took
some doing , but it has worked fine for the past 2 years. Good luck.

 I need sage advice. As some of you remember I the tranny oil plug on my
Ambo stripped when I changed the oil this past weekend. Went to the
auto parts store and bought a rubber/metal replacement drain plug. This
thing shoves into the drain hole and then one just turns an adjuster
underneath it which pulls a metal rod down through the rubber plug and
the thing grips the hell out of the drain hole. Opinions on this are
welcome. It sure beats rethreading. But does it work? Thanks.
