V6 sump plug size

Post by Simon Jones » Thu Jan 26, 2012 12:46 am

Thinking of fitting a magnetic sump plug to my V6 to pick up any bits floating around. Can anyone confirm the thread size is M14 x 1.5. It seems to be a common size for many Mazdas: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ms-MAGNETIC-O ... 3949wt_986

Probably..............but............... :lol: ..............If you dismember an old hard drive you will find some really strong magnets that you can simply attach to the sump to hold anything that can be magnetised. I put one on the base plate of my 1956 BSA.............Bloody hard to kick over now if the crank is at bottom dead centre.............. :lol: :lol: :lol:
