Oil Pan Plug in the Front?
Wondering if someone can tell me what size thread the 'pipe plug' is on the front of the oil pan on a newer Dyna. Wanting to put a temp sensor in it. Service manual shows it on 3.29 under the diagram of the oil pan.

PN 45893-99; PLUG pipe|ALL; $1.36 (Not real helpful.) (Tho, it's been the same since '99, apparently. That may be helpful in selecting a sensor)
V-Twin MFG says it's a 1/8 pipe plug. I would confirm that before ordering anything.
1/8 pipe specs:
Pipe Size: 1/8"
Threads per Inch: 27
Approx Length of Thread: 3/8
Nom pipe OD: 0.405"
Tap Drill: R

Respect man! I couldn't find the damn size anywhere. The manual doesnt list size for that plug or the stock oil pressure idiot light sender in the front of the block. Looking to T off that and put in oil pressure sensor as well.

Check out Jerzee Customs for the fittings to T-off for an oil pressure sensor. I went with their JC-9100TC oil pressure gauge kit; very nicely made

Like I said, I'd verify that. Pick up a cheap iron 1/8 pipe plug from the local hardware and make sure it fits right. I was finding some conflicting info.
