Bristol engine core plug hex size

(1/2) > >>

James Eastwood:
On disconnecting my temp gauge capillary tube to the aluminium core plug, on my 2L Bristol engine, the thread boss has broken off. It has corroded internally.

My car is about ninety minutes away at a painter, would anyone know the socket size I need to unscrew the core plug please?

Are there any repair techniques or do I need a new core plug, and where might I find one?

Many thanks indeed, if someone can help.

Regards James Eastwood

Hi James,
Pretty sure IN Racing can supply the parts you need.
I can check for spanner size at the weekend if you're ok to wait till then.
Hope this is of help.

Nick - if you can give me an accross flats measurement that would be great, I'll then try and work out what the type and size of socket is required !

Keith - nice to hear from you, many thanks for the recommendation.
