I have a leaking core plug (Welch Plug) at the front of the block and am thinking of getting some stainless steel ones as they only seem to last a couple of years despite always using anti-freeze in the coolant.
As the supplier isn't an Austin 7 specialist I need to provide the sizes but it's quite difficult to measure accurately with the drive gear housing still in place.
I believe the large one is probably 1 5/6" diameter but the smaller one looks like it may be 5/8" diameter.
Could anyone confirm these sizes and I also wondered what the general feeling was about using stainless or even brass welch plugs.
