Bill,
I did intall mine and sealed it Permatex aviation.
All things considered, today I would go the the hardware store and
buy a cheap plumbing steel plug. I just could not get the Al plug to
go past half way in and I did not have a screwdriver or bit wide
enough to really give some torque without deforming the plug. The
hardware store types have a large square head that you can grap with
a wrench (I have one on one of my spare heads).
By the way, since we are talking regular hardware store stuff, I am
sure teflon tape would work fine too...

Subject: TR3 Head Aluminum Threaded Plug
On the upper surface of the TR3 head there is a threaded
aluminum plug. Originally, it was about 1/2 inch thick. Mine had
corroded to about the thickness of a quarter. I am putting a new one.
How does one seal it up so it won't leak? It is a straight thread and
not a tapered pipe thread. ShouldI use aviation Permatex?
