Magnetic Oil Drain Plug

Post by Michael Steinmann »

Can some one please tell me if the original plug that is fitted in my R51/3 is magnetic? Is the one that Mark Huggett has on his shop magnetic? Is it a magnetic plug or a normal one with a magnet fitted on top? How long is the threaded section? Thanks in advance, Michael.

I don't know what kind of plug your bike had. I do think the Mobile Tradition drain plugs from Huggett have magnets. The magnet is imbedded, pressed or whatever, into the plug. The threaded section is the same for all the fill and drain plugs.
