1HDT Engine Drain Size & thread & Holes in Shock Towers

[wjw]

hi Guys,

Anyone know what size and thread the 1-HDT coolant drain is?

Also what are the rules about bolting things to shock towers? need to make 3 10mm holes

Thanks,

Bill

I can measure the drain cock in My cruiser tomorrow if it is the same as the ones on an 1hz

That would be grand. Thanks. And yes it should be the same.

given the rules around corrosion within 200mm of shock mounts, I am picking that drilling is a no no depending on where?

what are you mounting?

Engine coolant heater, has to be down low and in the US they mount them to the shock mount on 80's. Can't find space anywhere else

This is what I bought:

It's gravity fed and uses convection so the inlet hose at the bottom needs to be lower than the engine drain.

Just had a quick look and by my eyeballometre i would say that it is 10mmx1.25 ( or 10mm metric fine)

Great thanks, the part that came with the heater won't work

yeah I would guess that as it came out of the states it would be 1/4 or3/8 NPT fittings, as it is only a hose fitting that goes on there I would just retap the oil cooler cover to suit ( they are cheapish and easy to do if/when you sell vehicle)
