good evening folks,
        The threads of the oil drain plug of the 83 1.9L engine I'm installing
in my 85 westy weekender are quite stripped, I'm afraid. The PO had a
rubber stopper sort of deal in there, but I'm not sure I trust
that...while it's out and empty I'd like to try to trace the threads so
I can stick a bolt back in there. Anyone know what size tap to use?
Also, is it okay to just toss in a bolt or should I order one of the
fancy-pants drain plug bolts I was just looking at on volkscafe.com?

Thanks,
        Arthur
