Trick 1 Posted June 1, 2007 YEah thats what i thought. Mine did....before i went for an mi conversion. came back without one. i put one on today and it sealed but for 5 mins. then started leaking....wouldnt seal, guess i need a proper fitting one from Pug. Anyone know what size? Is it an o ring or a fibre type washer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lagonda 42 Posted June 3, 2007 Just a rubber washer. My radiator was new in 2001 & the washer is perished already. Larf! Frankly any rubbere washer should do, it's not under any really great pressure, just make sure it's a good fit. The drain plug on mine is plastic ... if yours is metal a fibre washer would be fine, but with plastic I think you'd strip the thread before it would be tight enough to seal properly.

Trick 1 Posted June 3, 2007 any washer i put on kept failing... noticed that my plastic drain plug was cracked on the thread, not visible until it put under pressure. problem solved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
