jagnut66 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Hi, I've been perusing eBay looking for a sump drain nut and came up with this (link below). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225481287650?fits=Car+Make%3ATriumph|Cars+Type%3A1200|Model%3AHerald&hash=item347fbb67e2:g:AXYAAOSwtWBkEVRp&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABAFgm2O9nlTQKze0beXuX3%2Fz8sgceOClamJl3qGZtvii54OnThxYM5ds3AAXmZQVpHyeB9UoB1TBOyY1JCcWgG4T4rlFb2MabCPanNoHz9kIY%2BKEKaINFg%2B8a9zw5%2Bf4LWZOkq1ZMwYEn4CMcAn4Fpn%2FoEa6dlir0hG%2BLbeJFFSPQ3IsLhjyvcmQpy1OjVkqFFNVtsLqQckOdWmLLPUqvs0ygdO0%2BxZb1PepoCtnPcMXR5Ph83gTiAXz3xIggnXSCP62ko5sBs3yeGjEYemy5PqFU1hZHsltrzfoxHz7P3HnZudqKdFAv9NaPnhFN766sRt6Y8%2BSIsO3feWp8WZLPjkc%3D|tkp%3ABFBM6LeCg5Zi Have others any experience of these? What do people on here think? Best wishes, Mike. Edited June 12, 2023 by jagnut66 additional text added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I've got a magnetic one, it works, but you really don't want to see that! I'd rather not know! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Same as what Doug says. Plus when I try and refit the plug the magnet wants to divert it to the side rather than letting it go back in place 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Same as mine!! I'd rather have those sticking to the magnet than going round the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Those magnetic Christmas trees always look alarming! But pull some of those 'needles' off between your fingers and you'll find that they are made of the finest metal dust! It's the magnetic field that makes them look like sharp metal filings. No, you don't want the dust circulating, but it's a lot less damaging than it looks. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 That particular eBay one is not going to work! It’s listed as an m14 thread. The small chassis cars are 3/8 NPT. Canley’s sell a magnetic sump plug (as I’m sure do other suppliers) with the appropriate thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnut66 Posted June 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Part number: 155660 noted. At £8.80 Canley's are cheaper than Rimmer's (for the same item -- same part number too) by a couple of pounds, what bumps it up, as always, is postage costs. Best wishes, Mike.

sulzerman Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Get one from Canleys, you know it will be the right part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
