core plugs

Post by scoobyjim »

Does anyone know where to buy the screwed core plugs that are fitted to p6 e27n's. Or a thread size.

I had the same problem few weeks back, I replaced two of mine by going to our local ag shop and buying a brass plug fitting the same size, there was different choices available for only a few bucks each. I ended up using a tapered type plug.
For me it worked fine, though I spent lots of time cleaning the threads on the block.
I'm not sure if if this is the correct way of doing it, but I didn't have any luck finding any direct replacement.

Good luck!

I think they are npt threads. Trouble is the old one has welded itself in so i need a tap to clean threads.
