You can buy new style drain plugs that are actually a little spigot, similar to drain plugs on air compressors or car radiators. But if youre wanting to keep that factory FD unit, you can weld a little T-bar on it or a nut on top of it to renew its youth.

Ive always wondered why, when we look in the mirror, the left side is on the right side and the right side is on the left side.... BUT the top is not at the bottom or the bottom at the top?
Doors are similarly very confusing. When you go in, the doorknob is on the left side. When you go out, the doorknob is now on the right side.

Because our eyes are located side by side?

My right side is on my right side in the mirror image and my left side in on my left side in the mirror image. What kind of mirror do you have?
:shocked:
Hold your right arm out and turn around, it will be opposite what you saw in the mirror...lol

It is still on the correct side. Besides, who on TBN turns around and looks in the mirror? :hypnodisk:
I mean, who needs to look at old mans but?

To determine whether a door is a right or left hand door (swing)...stand with your back to the hinged side of the door...if it swings to the right it's a "right hand door"...if it swings to the left it's a "left hand door"...it does not matter from what side you address it...

Wow 2200 comments on a rounded off drain plug. Obviously a lot of posters have way too much free time.
Simple solution for a rounded off drain plug, buy a cheap socket the fits over the buggered hex and wire weld it on. No more buggered hex.

Too much? Not really. I live by the tape measure philosophy.
Take a tape measure and run it out too 100" and lock it and lay it on a table. Put your finger on your age. Look up at 100. Chances are you won't make it that far. Look back to the beginning of the tape and your age and look at all the time you wasted and what you have left. I make every day count.
