Does anyone make a repro of the drain plug for the large clean-out style oil pans? Can someone tell me the size?
If anyone has a spare to sell, please contact me.
Thank you, Joe

Joe - just curious - this is the oil drain on my 35 Coupe that has a 59A with a two piece truck pan - is this what yo are refering to?

I have the two pic truck pan as well, but my plug looks a bit different and I have the removable oval clean out. I just tried to remove the plug and it is stuck and I can't quite get my caliper on the inside to measure the dia, but it seems to be around 1.75" OD on the threads.

They often appear on ebay, e.g., https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oil-Pan-Dra...IAAOSwBLlVOV-S.

They often appear on VanPeltSales too if you don't mind new and a lot cheaper.

VanPelt list that size as well, it is just not the one with the red box around it.

You're absolutely right.I should have looked closer.I wonder if that is the one that has the recess and not flat top like in my picture.

Ziggster · 05-26-2019, 08:39 AM

My plug is recessed. I checked the dia again with my caliper and it is 1.5". It has been acting up on me.

Hi Peter! The pan I'm referring to, I believe, is an 8BA truck pan which has the large clean-out hole in the bottom. Thanks Joe

jrvariel48 · 05-26-2019, 09:43 AM

Thank you everyone, but I'm still confused on which one to buy.(not surprised as I'm not that smart)
Here's a picture of the pan I have. Thanks Joe

JSeery · 05-26-2019, 09:55 AM

Can you measure the diameter of the plug opening? Should be 3/4, 7/8 or 1 1/2.

The pan is at a shop being modified for main bearing cap supports. I'll contact them and ask them to check it for me.
Thank you

Ross F-1 · 05-26-2019, 12:25 PM

Here you go, it's 7/8"-16
