Anyone know bevel box drain plug thread size, pitch, etc. for R3T

[ZoneIII]

Does anyone know the size of the bevel box drain plug - bolt size, pitch, etc. I have to repair with a Heli Coil type insert and I need to know what insedrt kit to get. I could use another size, of course, but it would be nice to use the original type magnetized drain plug. Any Triumph Parts guys here or anyone who can measure one? I could order one but it will take weeks or even longer to get with the coronovirus slowing everything down. I'd like to get the insert installed in the meantime.

I emailed Triumph but never received a response.

I don't.


But @warp9.9 probably does.

I searched the forum and came up with m10x1.5 mm.

Good luck with the repair!

Helicoils ime are often NOT oil-tight - Oil can weep via capillary action. The alternatives are however not that easy to do at home.

Hang on I'll start me another cup and go pull one out and measure it.

Ok yes 10 mm 1.5 mm pitch. If it were me and you might have tried it already. But I would sharpen a Q size letter drill left handed. Its about .0024" smaller then the metric tap drill size. And with a vacuum cleaner sucking see if you can drill her out. The metric tap drill is 8.5 mm.
Good luck

Just adding this bit to be helpful....since the plug seals on the face of the plug iirc, make sure that the helicoil is shorter than the material you will be inserting it into. Otherwise, your gonna have jacked up threads. Most hardware or automotive shops sell kits individually.

If you haven’t used one of these repairs, you will need a 13/32 drill, the 10x1.5mm helicoil tap, the installation tool (keeps the insert shape while installing, and a drive tool.

i have replied to the other thread check it out. be sure and read the part about the magnet still in there also the offer to send the final drive to me
jvheli told u about the length of the heli coil has to be shorter than the material it fits in. he is correct
i have taken a die grinder and cut off 1 or 2 coils to make them shorter. the problem with to long is that if u run it in to far then u will not be able to break off the tab u use to turn it in, and if u leave it out to far it is never going to seal.
if u do the repair i would use a magnetic pin to break off the tab so that it catches the tab.
