reb78 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I need to service the D2 today, I thought I had a new sump plug washer, but I can't find it. What's the process to re-anneal the existing one? Literally heat it up with the blow torch and let it cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb78 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Great. Thanks. I presume it won't distort as I lift it into the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Copper is so soft it'll seal your plug even if it does bend during the quench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Cherry red I was told. I've done it on copper fuel lines on classic bikes - and it's worked really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
