mikey,

go and buy a brass blanking plug from the plumbers - 1/4" BSP (I think... do a search for wading plug thread and see what comes up) Quiicker and cheaper than turning one yourself.

then drill and tap M8 (you will need to 'lathe' that...) and then turn down the end of an m8 bolt (I think I used a 40mm long one) so it fits into the slot on the flywheel. screw the blanking plug into the bell housing, then screw the bolt into the blanking plug, and you will be good.

I thought I had a picture of mine here, but can't lay my hands on it...

Timing pump pin - use a 9.5mm drill bit (or a piece of drill rod).

The wading plug is 1/4"BSP and it is in the gearbox bellhousing, the plug in the bottom of the disco flywheel housing is for the flywheel locking timing tool and IIRC is M14.

Sounds more like something that goes on in certain clubs frequented by those that are 'good with colours'? :D
