I have modified the packaging a little, have added a details card and the tap is directly labelled per previous suggestions. Until now the original box has just been reused. Time for a new one - packing is holding up well though!!

Just a note here - since 2/7 when this first shipped out - we've had six 928's get repaired in just over 2 months!! great going, rather faster than I expected - largely because we've had 2 case of 2 getting repaired for one shipment - efficient!!
If you are on the list and have local 928 buddies ask them if they need this - and if they don't know - have them check...

I have been working (playing?) on Dan's green car this week- literally as we were looking at Dan's seized tow plug, I got an e-mail from Joe saying that the tap was in town and did I need it? Picked it up the next day, and liberated Dan's old plug. Joe suggested a 21/32" drill bit- that plus a die grinder with a cylinder-shaped carbide burr plus the tap (and liberal cutting oil) worked a charm:

Just to easy, I got home from work on Monday to find the tool
had arrived, opened it, 10-min later I was done.
All the work was in prepping the hole, I predrilled with a 21/32
That left the remaining material paper thin, the tap blew right
through it.
Thank you Alan & Thank you jpitman !!

Do you mean an allen key is broken off in the plug?
Is it broken ~flush with the surface?, can you grab it to wiggle it out (lubricate it first) ...
