I have a few of the outie tranz drain plugs and want to get some more, but all of the replacement parts are innies. WTF? In the PET many models with p/n 999 064 019 02 and 020 02 are outies so you can use a wrench on them and be happy. No 17mm allen needed. All of the suppliers I found had the same damn allen plugs assigned to the old part number. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) If I could find some I would buy a bunch and offer them on all of my rebuilds.
Here is a pic of what I want next to two of the old type that I had to drill out (fun and awesome) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

What is the thread size? You can get 20mm dia X 30mm bolts from mcmaster carr, which should work, and are easier to get...

The thread is NPT so it is tapered. The problem I am having with the standards is that they are soft and people keep tightening them down flush which is way to much.

If that is NPT, go to a plumbing supply house...there must be a real plumbing supply place near you...NOT home depot...
That is a standard gas fitting stopper. Rich |

Well, maybe not NPT, but a tapered fitting. Is there a metric version of NPT? I will check the good hardware store tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Got one of those metric thread checkers?
Got one with my Sears tap and die set and have used it a lot. |

Here is 3 shots of a NOS drain plug. I have no idea where I got it from. I will ship it to you if you need it to locate others with.

Have you tryed welding a suitable bolt to the plug to remove it vs drilling and easy outting ??
The heat should help break it loose some . Jaxdream |

I dont weld, the HOA frowns on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I MAP gassed the plugs for a while and they did not budge. Drilling them out was the best, safest, quickest bet. I hate doing it, but it works. |

If finding the correct " outie " plug is impossible what about having " innies " welded with a short section of allen wrench in them? That would turn them into outies correct? Have the section of allen wrench protrude aprox. 3/4 - 1 inch so you can put a socket on it?
