Magnetic Drain Plugs = try eBay. That's where I got mine.

I'd also try eBay for the gearbox, or FTG Autosalvage in Ferntree Gully Melbourne. They're a site sponsor. You could also look up carlsperformanceparts on eBay. He's a top operator from what I've heard.

All the best with it.

Default Re: Magnetic sump and gearbox drain plugs

was it the m12 or 14 you got that didn't fit?

I need a new one for next month when I service mine, last guy partially stripped the thread and it's in there very loosely.

Must have been the 12 as it was a smaller diameter than the non magnetic one.Seems like you cant get them in magnetic.You can order the standard one from Ford but I hope your sump thread is not badly stripped!!.
