M17 x 1.5 thread on ATF Fill Plug Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Tue, 15 Aug 2017 07:57:27 In Reply to: Meeting with the owner of a custom machining shop Tuesday, MI-Roger [Profile/Gallery] , Sat, 12 Aug 2017 15:56:01 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
At least on my '08. I am having six to a dozen custom machined with a 13mm hex boss on top rather than the T55 recess. Our collective guess, mine and the machine shop owner, is that the T55 recess was cold-headed into the slug as the first step in manufacturing process. Cold heading also explains the mysterious bottom recess.
My plan is to send a couple of these fill plugs to interested Pros (Anders, Bernie, Justin?) and semi-Pros with a business card of the automotive prototype company who is making these.
