What have you done today with your Austin Seven
For those that don't already know you can get by with a squash ball for quite a while: just push it between the failed core plug hole and the bulkhead. It has plenty of resilience to cope with the engine moving a bit in relation to the bulkhead. I usually carry a squash ball as a get you home measure, since first trying it in about 1960. It is also possible to clean out the core plug seat (small right angle screwdriver?) a fit a new plugĀ in situ: when the new plug is in place wedge it there with a suitable bit of metal (I find a hammer head of the right size will do it and spring the bulkhead into the car a bit); after that belt the bukhead at the critical point and you will settle the core plug into place just as well as if you had removed the engine.

I understand that it is only the Union Jack when flying on the jack staff at the bow of the ship.
