thread size for a 2H glow plug

Post by pongo »

Basically as the title says. I need a 14 volt glow plug for a project and these seem to be the only ones i can find.

I need to know the size so i can try and find a thread tap to suit before i get too carried away.


Thanx guys, and ill reveal all once i get this project sorted out ;)

Its not that uncommon on most japanese cars/trucks. Finding a tap should be dead easy.

make sure u use the 8.8 drillbit otherwise the thread wonr be a tight fit it will slop around and wont seal properly..if your using glow plugs for sumthing i gather it might have compression so use the right drill and tap first time. cheers batcho

An 11/32 drill bit will be much easier to find.
