The size is 20mmx1.5 straight thread. I only saw NPT at Earl's.

This looks nice

They have seals that would work for the head flange.

This plug is for the low pressure side so this is probably overkill, but I like overkill, especially since they swage that plug at the factory(?) and taking it out will mess up the threads some. You would have to grind some off that plug as the original is actually very thin and the threads don't go very deep in the case. There's not a lot of metal there for the threads either is why I wouldn't use a tapered npt plug.
