take out the old plug and grind off the chewed up head and weld on new bolt head (17mm?) thats what i di on my diesel drain plug Alistair On 14-Aug-09, at 1:25 PM, Ryan Tanner wrote: Greetings again, My radiator is still leaking, but so slowly that I'm going to let it be and try to limp home as is. The latest issue is with an old drain plug. My old plug has been used and abused and no longer has a head on it. I thought a new plug would be easy to find, but apparently I have something special in my engine. Please look at these photos of the plug and tell me if what I have is unusual or where I can find the appropriate replacement. http://picasaweb.google.com/ryanatanner/OilDrainPlug?feat=directlink Thanks again! -- Ryan A.
