maizey Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 i used to sell those aluminium ones and to be honest had nothing but issues with them as people would over tighten them, either damaging the threads or i saw a few cases the thread and internals stuck in the sump and the head snapping off flush with the surface. I actually get ones custom made for me now out of steel that are nickel coated like OEM to prevent rusting but have the high strength magnets in the middle, easily able to support a 3/4" racket from just that tiny magnet. I fit these to all the forged engines I've been doing now as a standard part. But i do sell them separately if anyone is interested. There £12.00 delivered to the door.

I've had the joy(?) of removing sheared off alloy sump plugs, as you describe, on other peoples cars . . . . . that's why I called them "NASTY ALLOY" previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 i stopped using them because of this and had these steel versions made up for my customers. Tim TB Developments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
