I have looked and looked and have not found any information.
Please enlighten us with this process. I have a pile of 3/8" aluminum pipe thread plugs TIA |

It's been a while since I did this, but I recall one of the plugs being awfully close to an internal oil supply line. Be careful. If you mess that one up it may be time for a new case.
I had no luck with the alloy plugs, I think mine were from Skat. I ended up using brass plugs. Bear in mind that you may have to tap, fit, tap some more to get the plugs set to the depth you want. Some require a modified or bottoming tap. The aluminum fittings don't like to be used multiple times. You could fit them with steel or brass plugs, then install the alloy ones at final fit up, but I like the idea of being able to remove them without damage in the future. |
