Are you talking about the drain plug for the primary/transmission? Its right about the muffler..

Other wise, the drainplug for the oil bag, doesnt have any threads on it... just clamped into place.

I myself would drill and tap it out the next size up from the original size whether you use SAE or metric, its your choice.

As long as it seals the hole and clears the muffler nobody would know the difference.

Jramsey,

I would can to fix it with the next size, but it would not get the magnet at the end of the bolt and I don't like.

Thanks for reply.

Add up gasket costs and time and you could almost buy a small shop vac and with tubing and with a little imagination suck the oil out!!!
