hi all
As i progress onwith my 7100 restoration a problem as occured with the engine sump plug.
looks like at some point its been over tightened or the wrong plug fitted and the thread has been completly stripped.
I managed to just get it out but i suspect the sump drain hole thread is going to be useless.
I think best plan is to try and have a go at cutting a new thread first and fit a suitable replacement plug and sealing washer and if that fails then put a helicoil in and get a new original spare part drain plug for it.
so to the first plan , does anyone know what the correct thread size is on the drain hole and plug.
any help would be great.
merry christmas to you all,
rob
