Magnetic sump plugs - do folk here use them?

<< < (3/4) > >>

philward:
Just had a message back from eBay seller saying he has sold hundreds of the 1.5mm pitch drain plugs for 750s with no returns. I'm now doubting myself. To save me draining the fresh oil, can anyone please confirm the thread pitch for the 750 sump plug - and the 500 as well please

Both 1.5 pitch Phil. (The same on all SOHC/4's)

fogrider:
You don't need to buy a new sump plug, just get one of those small diameter high-tech magnets, measure its diameter, drill the sump plug and push it in the hole .
It can't fall out, its magnetic !

Thanks Julie - I think the thread on the magnetic sump plug may have a burr on the starter thread thats made me think that the threads are different - I'll message the ebay seller and apologies for the wrong info

Lobo:
Oddjob - like that idea (filter surrounded by 🧲 magnets) - but does this prohibit you from actually seeing any swarf etc at filter change?

Or do ya go on to perform a filter autopsy … messy job!
