EK Fuel Tank Drain Plug

Post by rtelford »

Anyone know the thread size of this little bolt, I have accidentally cross threaded it and need to clean it up with a tap.

After all these years I have never removed one of those little plugs .... sorry I have no idea what size it is :roll:
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Masterparts lists them as 1/8" pipe. Probably 1/8"-NPT, though could be 1/8"-BSP.

No, definitely 1/8" NPT.

GM-H rarely used BSP in those days.
