Magnetic Oil Bolt

just get a nice strong earth magnet and stick it to the plate...easy

Like junkyards? You can scavenge two doughnut shaped magnets that are reasonably strong from scrapped microwaves. If you disassemble them thoroughly. The ones I've found fit nicely around the sump drain. A little epoxy for good measure and a coat of paint makes for a clean and permanent installation.

I suggest locate a similar vehicle and ( under the cover of darkness) steal the needed parts, that should do the trick. thank you for your time sir.

Cool Deal... Got my big honkin magnet and stuck it up there. Don' t think I need epoxy as the thing could probably lift the engine if it werent bolted in. I figure that'll suck any metal out of there and keep my baby runnin for another 34 years...

Thanks Guys.
