Thanks for the replies.

How odd.  I was told by the owner that his 89 drain caps were the same,
water and sink.  I lost the sink drain cap hence my question.  I got a
replacement from bus depot but, not knowing, got the water tank drain cap
for my 85 which fits beautifully, now I have two.

But I still need the sink drain cap for an 89.

Thanks again,

Mike
