[DeTomaso] ZF drain plugs - common AC/Delco part #

[David Nunn]

Mike,
Here's Larry's original posting:
---------------------------------------
All,
Our ZF drain/fill plugs are 24mm x 1.5 which seem to be scarce at the chain
parts houses.
I recently tracked down a common, readily available and inexpensive version.
It is an AC/Delco part - #23049841
Here is a current eBay Buy It Now listing, at $12.06 with free shipping.

Takes the standard 17mm hex tool and has an integral magnet.
Larry
---------------------------------------
I have ordered one just to see if it is, indeed, correct for our ZF's. I
only paid $7.70 including shipping, so the risk is minimal.
I'll report back here, once I have it in my hands, which should be before
the end of the week. 
Dave

>>>Just curious--what is it that makes you think that this is appropriate

I'm not saying it's not--I don't know myself.  But the list of applications
is for a bunch of GM products.    I know that a lot of GM products use ZF
gearboxes and I suppose they could be metric, so this might work perfectly.
But what makes you think that it does?  Have you tried it?

In hitting 'reply all', I see that Larry Finch appears as one of the
addresses.  His forum posts never make it through to me, not even to my spam
folder.  So is it possible that Larry started this thread and shared some
info that I'm not able to see?  I thought that you started it at first....
