Oil feed on head - Thread size

[baguete]

What is the thread size of the oil feed on the head?

BTW, i had problems removing the bolt of that oil feed, had to buy an easy-out... :doh:

hi mate, its 1/8" BSP,

mine came out really easy, i used an old trick o got off my dad tho, warm it up with a blow torch till its really hot, strike it with a hammer a few times, get a really good quality good fitting allen key and it came out no problems, was a bit tight but thats where the good quality good fitting allen key come in along with a 2 foot piece of tube lol

It's actually 1/8npt, I've just taken mine out? Npt tapered I.e smaller at one end

fair doo's pal, id not actually measured the thread. i was going on the fact that a 1/8 bsp air line fitting screwed in it no problems

my 1/8 npt fitting seems to work fine, maybe the threads arnt all that different between npt and bsp?

i dont know i cant remember, i dont seem to remember the plug being tapered tho when i took it out, but didnt take that much notice.

just googled and 1/6 npt is 27tpi and 1/8 bsp is 28tpi.

Could probably get away with either? Mine went in a treat smoothly

Isn't leaking either
