Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 If there is any magnetic drain plug that fits an LT85 5 speed box ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Would it be possible Nige, with your fab experience, to get a normal plug...turn a recess into the inner face, and glue in one of those Neodymium magnets that can be had quite cheaply? The magnets can be had from Maplin and other places, thought it might be an option if no 'off the shelf' option exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Its an odd plug, I'm guessing fabbing may be the only route 15/15 head for the spanner, then a flange thats wider than that, drops a tad the other side where the thread is, but it is already recessed as a filter pops into it, have you any links for the magnets your thinking off, if thin enough maybe resess extra amount into the plug and shorten the filter to allow for a magnetci disk ? I do have a feeling this may be a blank in terms of off the shelf, so as I am so impressed with al the other major units now having magnet plugs (both axles, T Box and Engine) only the primary box is excluded, fabbing may be a poss Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 can't see a magnetic drain plug listed in the LT85 section of my 110 parts book, I'm sure you could fab one as suggest above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Tried Hyphose? They do magnetic drain/filler plugs in a variety of fruity flavours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=26348 Down to 1mm thick in the smallest size, although only 3mm in diameter at that point! They do a 6mm dia. one which is 2mm thick, or a 10mm dia. one which is 5mm thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiWhite Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Nige, PM me your address, I've got a bunch of rare earth magnets here. They are sufficiently strong that I don't think they'll need gluing to a drain plug. You'll struggle to pull one off once it's magneted on....

SiWhite Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Spot the deliberate mistake above..... They will stick to a drain plug, unless its alloy Look, it's dark outside and everyone else is asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
