Have a stripped primary drain plug , what to do now?

 

Oversized self tapping drain plug or helicoil to repair the damaged threads.

 

What bike?
Is it the plug itself or the hole?
A new or used primary cover would be optimum.
Probably much less expensive to try the helicoil or self tapping plug though if it's the hole.
How did you manage to strip it? They are sealed with an o ring and don't have to be all that tight.

 

Another vote for helicoil...http://www.helicoil.in/

 

Yea I screwed up! First time in many years! does anybody know what size that plug is and what threads? What helicoil? Thanks for any help , feel pretty dumb!

 

Think I would take the plug to an industrial supply house or industrial fastener store and have them help you out...... they will have the parts to fix... heli-coil is your friend. The plug should be ok...it is steel, the cases are aluminum, which is soft.

 

Thanks , guess that's what I will do Tuesday!
