: I really like that, Mick!!

: Completely remove the bolt for full inflation or deflation. Use a couple
: twists to fully blow up before paddling or to release a little pressure on
: a hot day.

: Thanks,
: Shawn

Maybe another way would be to file the bolt on an angle. Say 1in long bolt, file an angle from 1/4in from head to half the diameter at the other insert end.

Or maybe take a small round file and file 4 sides of the bolt on an angle also so it looks like a tap from a tap and die set.

p.s. fluke on noticing the identical posting dates!
