Helicoil thread insert. - Land Rovers Only

Bonehead · 08-26-2006, 03:26 AM

Does anyone have any idea what size thread insert I need for my transfer gearbox drain plug?

My local LR specialist says that the thread matches M10 in pitch, but the plug diameter's wrong. It matches M12 diameter, but the pitch is wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Take the plug into the tech and let him compare to make sure, no big deal.
