Hey all..
I’m in the process of cleaning up the rear end on the Elford and fitting poly bushes.. I took both the fill plug and drain plug off of the diff to let it drain whilst I did something else and I now cannot find the drain plug for the life of me!
Would someone please confirm what size and thread pitch it is please so that I can order a replacement ?
Thanks!
Vic

Re: Help! Lost drain plug
Thanks fella ..
Yea got it sorted in the end .. managed to dig out my thread pitch gauge eventually.. haven’t used it in many many years
Turned out to be 21mm x 1.75 thread
An old VW engine drain plug was the best fit
VW had one in stock so I managed to sort the next day
Still can’t find the original one! It’ll turn up in some obscure place one day I’m sure
