Thanks Jon. It's not that one. This plug is just above the oil filter. Just
got off the phone with TRF. They say just use a 3/4-16 steel plug available
anywhere. The original part was aluminum and is no longer available. Guess I
should have called them back first rather than bothering the lists. Sorry
all.
