yep, that huge drain plug is what ripped out of Gump. Must have been
some goon in SF pulled the wrong size plug for the package that Rusty
had sent out. I know it was not a mistake on his end.

I replaced the original pan because someone had cross threaded the
large bolt (dont' ask me how) ---

Fed Ex just left me a wonderful package. Inside were all the little

came
with the pan installed. Has there been an upgrade to either the pan
or
the bolt in the past such that maybe the old bolts are too large for
the new pans, or the new pans are too tight for old model bolts. This
bolt just seems too large to fit the tiny hole, and IIRC the original
pan had a much larger plug that was hex keyed.
Part number on the bolt is 1 111-997-03-30. Did I order the wrong
thing?
