[DeTomaso] Fwd: Sump plug

If all else fails try searching Google for:

Engine oil drain rubber universal plug


I used one of these back in the late 70's on my 1970 mustang and it worked
great.

     Michael,
     Youare in England which complicates matters greatly. You arenat
     supposed to be working on your own caraitas seen as undignified!
     Thus parts are difficult to come by.
     Over here, drain plugs can be had slightly oversized to compensate
     for a stripped-out hole, which is the situation you are almost
     assuredly facing. I imagine it would be next to impossible to find
     such a thing there.
     Confirm that your existing plug threads are okay and I can dispatch
     an oversized one. Alternately, you can use yellow plumbers tape and
     build up the diameter of your existing plug, which might work?
