If it will fit the recess in the case, buy a 5/8" flange head cap screw to replace your ersatz drain plug. Or have the seat of the plug you now have faced off on an engine lathe. - where to get 0.650" ID X ~0.865 OD hollow crush washers? Sort through the stock at an auto supply house. Check with a BMW bike shop, Beemers are festooned with crush washers. - would an o-ring work? >> An o-ring would work if the head of the fastener has an o-ring recess cut into it. As a matter of fact, sealing cap screws with o-ringed heads are manufactured and available but at no small cost. George |
