Anyone know where I can obtain a drain plug for the oil pan on a 1592 engine? The one on my series 4 motor has a badly damaged head that requires a Vice-Grips to remove. I have ordered these from Victoria British and Sunbeam Specialties and neither fit. No surprise on the VB, but SS listing just the one part number would indicate they are the same for all motors. I am not finding this to be so, at least with the collection of stuff I have here. In fact, I have 3 different plugs that don't fit the 1592 and none of the three look anything like the one on my series 4 motor or series 3 motor. And the one on my series 5 motor is different from the 1592.
Photos of the damaged one I have are below in addition to series 3 and series 5 examples. On the series 4 1592, there is a recession that the plug goes down into. Not so on the series 5. It has a larger head. On the series 3 motor, the bolt head apparently uses a Allen wrench to remove. Any insight appreciated.
Thanks
