Les Brock Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Am I right in thinking that a tap for a wading plug would be..... M14 x 1.5 Before I order one, to allow for the holes for oil drain holes in the bottom casing of my 8274's(in a Alloy block welded to the bottom before some one says it's to thin ) Oh....and while I'm at it where is the best place to fit a 6mm breather on the casing without hitting something.... in the top cover, plate adj motor......

Les Brock Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Tony, Thanks looked there ! You say M16 x 1.5.....G&R fasteners say M14 x 1.5 so I'm just checking Looks like the breather can go where you like , just wondered if anyone had wished they'd put it somewhere else than where they did...to stop me making the same mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 WARNEing that is a WiLL Warne measurement Not one I supplied The top housing I'd copy the one I did rather than the brake side as it keeps the pipe work out of the way since I fitted it(now removed for twin motor) I did get any water into the gear oil.

Les Brock Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thing is I have a M16 x 1.5mm tap at home, fits a M16 nut to perfection...yet the wading plug falls straight in the nut without even catching the thread ! Hence why I went top G&R this morning to get one....chap was gone 10 mins (hopefully not having a brew ) alas they have none ...but did give the the M14 measurement RS Components do....

white90 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Just get a M16 set screw (chopped to suit)and use a copper washer cheaper than tap/drills etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Tony's right , I'm a plonker. M14 x 1.5 it is (just been to check) Can you correct the post, Tony??? Les, if you want to borrow the tap (and/or an M14 x 1.5 helicoil set I've got - I tend to use this instead to give a better thread) just let me know.
