It's a 3inch test plug that I cut down with a razor quite a bit that fits into the factory hole. I broke my original "plug" when I had to remove for repainting and patching. So went to home depot and I think it was $4.99 (I would suggest a reciept and size it up before you leave because plugs of the same measurement but different makers "sandwhich" differently when tightened." I live in the NW so it has come in handy more than once for a drain. I put the wingnut on the opposite side of how it comes purchased because that stud sticks up a ton when installed the way its suppose to be.

Question...it looks like the arm is bowing more towards the axle than the frame...is that just an optical illusion? I would think they would allow more tire room mounted the other way...

Before and after. I needed to be able to put long pieces of wood and my bike in the back so I had to completly change the PO's setup and still find a home the Viair 550 and the 2.5 gal tank and the hi lift. Check out my solution.

Running a wire from the top terminal to the bottom terminal would accomplish the same thing without running a wire to the battery.
