Huntin' magnetic drain plug for aluminum oil pan none of the vendors that sell the pan offer such plug or know the proper size. Didn't really want to R&R aluminum oil pan drain plug for an aftermarket magnetic version
Solution:
Talked with TR6 owner Tyler says Herman van den Akker put magnets on his oil filter & he does the same
Got rare earth magnets from h.f. $5 pac placed them on test filter, strong & should do better than drain plug attracting/holding metal particles at bottom of filter.
Attached them to bottom of filter on TR6 will take a filter to ace see whether or not they have a round 1/8-1/4" thick strong magnet to fit surface of filter
Bonus: Eliminated having to get floor jack & stans lift TR for access drain or loose oil temp removing plug to install, filter had no residue so installed in minutes. May still hunt install magnetic drain plug but until I source this will do
Site info:
These PITTSBURGH™ Rare Earth Magnets provide strong holding power for securing small items, organizing tools and hardware, or tackling craft and hobby projects. Their small profile makes them easy to position where larger magnets won't fit, and the 10-piece pack gives you plenty to keep on hand for different projects.
Super strong magnets made from neodymium are 5 times stronger than samarium-cobalt rare earth magnets
Nickel-plated to resist corrosion
5 times stronger than strip magnets
