Anyone got an old diff pan filler plug boss I can earole?
Obviously it needs to be cut out of a scrap axle or diff pan, burri need it fur my new strengthened diff pan - an I dont wanna cut mine till the new pan is ready to fix.

Trewey · Feb 1, 2008

why not just use some steel plumbing fittings - say a 3/4" socket and stop-end?

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 1, 2008

i mite yet - just asking tho

slob · Feb 1, 2008

int yer going fer a 3/8" thick doo dah? in which case yer could just tap that feclker and screw yer bung reet into it without the need fer a boss. they only have a boss on the landy pan cos its so thin

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 1, 2008

cept the taps are likely to be fookin expensive an i dont have a sophisticated workshop - so drill a hole and weld in a boss is easier (and cheaper) than tappin the hole.

slob · Feb 1, 2008

not if yer take it to a injuneering place before yer weld it in.

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 1, 2008

coz i am a tight b'stid - an I can drill a hole - local injuneering peeps charge an arm an a leg.

slob · Feb 1, 2008

send it here i'll get it done fer nowt fer yer

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 1, 2008

i fink the carriage wud be so expensive, it wud be cheaper to get it done here. anyroadup - i can most likely braze a boss in, myself.

apparently Scorpion used to sell a strengthened diff pan, but stopped selling them about 2 years ago.

drill a nole, weld a big nut over it, bung in a short bolt with a fibre or copper washer and robert's yer mother's brother.

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 1, 2008

thats sorta wot i is gonna do - just with the right size fred

Trewey · Feb 1, 2008

why is the fred size important? so long as nut and bolt are the same?

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 1, 2008

i just like to do fings proper and that means, to me, using the same size filler plug and apperture. I accept it aint critical - its just me bein pedantic.

when I got it sorted it will be the dogs (I hope) - it just takes a bit more effort and time.

G-man · Feb 1, 2008

find what size flange bolt you need an i will see about gettin you some nylon/copper washers i will have a look about and see if i can find a flange bolt and a propper nut

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 1, 2008
