Hi All, RGS-Bill sent me this, thought it was pretty interesting
I did not use the studs that came with the Draganfly sump plate magnetic drain. I bought longer stainless Allen head studs, and stainless split washers , and "NYLOC" nuts and loctited them in with blue Loctite, so I would not mess up the threads in the case again. I already had to drill and tap one size larger, and buy a bottoming tap to get threads further in, from taking in and out all the time. I first put it on so could drain completely on the center stand, (facing rear) until I read here on the forum, that the magnet could interfere with the check ball in the pick up, (sump return oil to tank and rockers) So now I am thinking of going to the left side so it drains completely when on the side stand, and the magnet is further away from the check ball. Just do not know if the stud holes in the sump are equidistant so it can be turned sideways, plus if the sump drain plug ever worked its way loose and fell out, the sump oil might hit the left hot exhaust pipe and let me know, going to soon be out of oil, after the tank empties out. I use stainless Allen head studs where ever I can , I am really sold on them. (Concerning allen end tappet cover studs) You need a ball end Allen wrench for a couple of them, gives you a better angle of the dangle to get in there, if you keep the tank on.
