Can you through wire a old screw eye plug?
This is a real good question. My assumption is your dealing with an old plug your trying to refurbish. The screw eyes have failed in the wood and your looking to strengthen the plug.
Questions I see:
1. Will through wiring this type of plug effect it's swimability?
2. Can the plug be fixed with an epoxy plug instead?
3. Is it really worth the effort?
Now with me doing as much refurbishing as I have done I have never ever Had the thought to wire a screwed plug. Mostly because on the westcoast our plugs were mostly through wired.
But I would say with most of the plugs out there it would be possible to change over a screw eye to a through wire. The problems I see would be knowing what type of drilling you will have to do. Certain plugs are drilled off center , while others can be straight drilled. This will be a hit and miss process for you to experiment with as you seem to be hitting new ground so we want a report from you.
Any one else have any ideas?
