So due to my own incompetence & lack of attention to detail I now need an M18x1.25 sump plug. Rather than the standard M18x1.50.

I can't seem to find a plug with 1.25 tread, can anyone help me out?

So you're saying you've already helicoiled a hole to 1.25 ? And just need a bolt or something to screw in ?

1.25 would be an extremely fine thread for M18 in the first place...so surprised you even found a helicoil kit for it !

Thanks for that link smile

That's exactly what happened & might explain why it was cheap!
