The thread diameter/pitch for the O2 sensor is 18 x 1.5 mm. I went to my flaps and they were useless, although I give them credit for trying. I went next door to the Goodyear shop and the front desk put me on the phone with one of their mechanics. I asked him if he knew what will fill the O2 sensor hole. He said, "Do you got a spark plug?" I said I did but it was too small. He said, "Let me look around and see what I can find." A few minutes later has came out to me with a new Autolite size 46 spark plug. He said he didn't have any used ones, but that I could have this new one, and that it would fit. Nice. I brought it home and it does fit. A little while searching on the Internet for the exact thread size of this particular spark plug and I finally got it. Now I'll go back to the flaps and buy an 18 x 1.5 mm oil drain plug. Then, on to the next thing... Brian 84 Westy |
