Fantic 240 Drain Plug size, my latest purchase has a horific epoxy repair around the drain plug. I'm not even sure the plugs standard, so would like to know original size so I can have a go at proper repair and try and use original size. M12x1.5 pitch ?

Many thanks

My mate's 156cc Fantic thread started to strip and he couldn't get the original plug to seal. We tapped it out to M12 x 1.75 (standard pitch) then got a hex head M12 bolt and machined the head down to 3mm thick and tapped a M6 thread through the centre. He then cut the thread to the required length and bonded this into the existing drain plug hole.

When then sourced an M6 pan head and a 1/8 BSPP bonded seal (dowty seal) and this screws into the permanent plug that allows you to drain the oil and seals really well.

Note, all bolts are stainless steel.

Cheers...

My 240 is an early one and has a M8 drain plug. Later ones had a larger plug - Billet parts sell a M14 x 1.5 magnetic plug for a Fantic but dont state what models it will fit.
