Easy access to adjust coilovers

I was walking through Home Depot looking for something that I could repurpose to give me easy access to the top of my coilovers. This is what I came up with.

No -- those are toilet flapper valves. Now, when on the road and there is no gas station near and one has to go -- there is a solution. Brilliant.

i mean... you only really need a hole big enough to fit an allen wrench through.

Mine are like 0.5" OD

Seemed like a good idea at the time, and now I feel like an idiot, lol. I first did a really small hole but was off on my measurement and had to come up with something.

We have all done stuff like this -- it's all part of the learning curve.

I must have been ahead of the curve.

Mrs. Teacher, what's the bell curve?

Shut up Jimmy!

Avoid the headache. It sounds like you cut a big hole based on what the guys are saying.
