Hi Guys,

Am struggling to find a replacement for drain plug, am in the UK and cant seem to find any within Europe, only america. Would anyone know where I could get one or even the specs for the drain plug. Its off an 05 XKR

Cheers
Jack

 

Can't you reuse it?

 

I can't it was stripped

 

G'day Jack,

Could you tap a thread in the hole and use a different sized bolt? Or maybe use a Helicoil.

Cheers,
Jeff.

 

Hi Jeff

The treads are fine, stripped was probably the wrong word. The hex slot was rounded.

I found this one, would it do the job?

Scrap (breaker) yards will have them.

 

Since your in the UK and we are mostly in the US my normal parts supplies will do you no good?
Have you contacted these guys?
M112 Service

They seem to have a wide selection of stuff and they also rebuild these units so I would think they should have one or more laying about. I still can't figure out how this would be damaged as the blower is Aluminum and the bolt is steel?

get a caliper and then a thread pitch gauge and you're good to go... you guys abandoned american fasteners so online might be the only way
