Machined core plugs
#1
Although not original, I thought I would show you the threaded core plugs I made for my '29 cylinder block.
   

The correct plugs are the domed disc plugs you insert and expand with a dent in the center but sometime in the past  the previous owner had elected to tap these holes for 5/8" BPT plugs which had to be drilled out in order to gain access to the corrosion plugged cooling channels in the block. I got about a cup of rust out of the block.
   
I modified two modern plugs to resemble the large core plugs already in the block so that they would not look out of place.
   
   

Fiddly work but I am pleased at how they turned out.
