that is cause that's a V20 transom and bottom.

Hey Stink, great idea, here is my version of the plug. Tool Maker Style
I used a .250 X 3" CRES dowel pin. I set up my plug and drilled and reamed the hole to .249 to get a .0005 to the side press fit.

Then just for insurance I drilled and tapped a 1/4-20 hole from the inside and installed a CRES set screw.

I've got one of those I bought about 6 years ago. I believe TEMPO made it. Although mine doesn't have as big of a pin through it.

DANG!! I just seen this! So where are my royalties from the sales? ::)


LOL, I doubt me (or him) was the first to ever build one or sell it. His looks cleaner and more marketable anyways. ;)
