MG TA sump drain washer

Post by martinjames » Sat Feb 15, 2020 11:30 pm

Having difficulty finding a correct size copper washer for the TA sump drain plug. NTG in the UK have them for GBP1.89 but want GBP25 freight to NZ!! Have tried locally but haven't found one large enough yet.

Worst case you could cut one yourself from Cooper sheet.

Hello
i searched for a magnetic sump plug and found this in the description

BRASS GEARBOX PLUG WITH MAGNET & FIBRE WASHER. THE ORIGINALS WERE
MADE FROM SOFTER BRASS, AND MOST ARE PRETTY CHEWED UP BY NOW!

is it possible to take modern material ?

Is it advantageous to use magnetic types?
Best Regards
Franz

I make these drain plugs with magnet, and sell them on eBay. They come with a hard fibre washer;
