DFC1943Fl.Lt. Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Hi all, can anyone tell me what the size (Dia.) and thread of the drain plugs on the fuel tank in a Mk1 ferret please. Both of mine are missing. Cheers Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin33ba07 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I am sure and you can check that they are the same thread as the brass filler plugs on the wheel hubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFC1943Fl.Lt. Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks for the reply's chaps. I knew you would come good. This is one hell of a forum for information on MV's. Once again thanks. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexton Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I used to have deal with all these acronyms, so I remember that BSPF actually stands for British Standard Pipe Fitting, which is a confusing way of defining that it is actually a parallel or straight thread, as opposed to BSPT, British Standard Pipe Taper.

My mistake, should have said BSPP, meaning Parallel. That is how my taps and dies are marked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZITIM Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Wow, Im onto my third Ferret rebuild and I never knew that the hub filler plugs also fit the fuel drain plug. The things you learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
