Thanx for the quick reply,
i made a plug out of an old 6mm stud,
put some red loctite on it,
i've also peened the other one over just to be safe.

Get yourself some JB Weld and mix enough up to do the other plugs or you'll end up losing them as well. Vibration & time are what work them loose.

Use some carb spray and Q-tips to clean the areas up before applying the JB Weld. This way it have adhesion. Then allow 16 hours min before your run it so the JB can cure fully. It holds up very well to fuel.
