It is a standard pipe thread. TR 6 transmissions have a small magnet on =
them, I use one on a 4A transmission. I suppose you could also use on in =
the oil pan too as it=E2=80=99s the same size.

Subject: [TR] transmission and oil pan

Does anyone have a link to a magnetic plug for the transmission and oil =
pan for a TR4/TR6?  Or know what size it is?  Looks like standard pipe =
thread to me.

I=E2=80=99m thinking it would be good to replace the standard plugs I =
have in there with a set of those.

I like to use hex socket plugs, magnetic for drain plugs.  The hex socket
installs nearly flush with the surface, so less chance of banging it on a
rock or whatever.

Here's a photo of one being installed
https://imgur.com/0Tj96Uh

These also work for later TR3-A-B.  Change point for the engine drain plug
is supposed to be TS18902E, but the oil pans interchange so YMMV.

I bought a dozen or two high-strength circular magnets at the hardware =

also JB welded a few of those magnets onto the 1=94 flat drain plugs =

them anymore. This might be another source.

Maybe NAPA stores can order magnetic drain plugs in a NPT size.

I tried the magnetic plugs offered by Moss but thought the magnet used was
rather lame so, like Alex, I made my own by JBWelding a rare-earth magnet
into the recess of a standard plug.

When I rebuilt the motor in the TR2, I put a really strong rare earth
magnet on the bottom of the pan. There was a magnet in the trans pan of my
pickup, so I figured it couldn't hurt.
