Subject:Re: Oil drain may be stripped? How fix?

Just stripped and repaired my 91 Westy Drain Plug/Hole myself. Total
explanation in the Archives. Basically they sell a kit at most every
FLAPS. I used STD threads, meaning take your drain plug in, you can
eyeball a larger "oversize" self-tapper to screw in place, I paid extra
for the tricky unit with a smaller steel plug inside the larger one that
is now removed for oil changes. Worked great, cost $4.50 USD's, easy to
install.
