Yep, the header says it. I was at the good auto parts store last night but the guy couldn't seem to look up the Midget. He kept suggesting that I drill and retap the pan. Um, no thanks. Think I'll find the correct one and go with that.

Thanks,
JACK
 
Obviously you are trying to deal with the wrong merchant.
 
Jack,
Looks to be 1/4" BSPP. O.D. measures 0.510 with a thread pitch of 19.

Hmm, I suppose if it's an odd BSPP it will probably be easier to just order one from the usual suspects.

Thanks!

How can you go wrong for $1.50
 
BSPP odd for a British car? naw!
Hey how about calling Tom's Import there in Portland for a good used one? Or Steve at Northwest Import parts? he should know of a few local guy's likely to have one.
