[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 424927, member: 13599"] Hey Givey - I had the plan to retap the hole to a 3/4" and ordered the 3/4" NPT pipe tap off of ebay. got the tap yesterday, and, looking at just how much material must be removed, it leaves very little "meat" surrounding the threaded part of the hole........ so, I am going to abandon that idea for now and go with the Permatex Thread Repair kit which I have used before and have confidence in it....... also, reinforce the outside of the hole wall with 2-part epoxy putty. you asked about the rubber plug - yes, it will also work if you can find a 1/2" and you can get it to seat correctly. https://youtu.be/B3WxsZxLqi0 also https://youtu.be/zUI6GMkTOjU [/QUOTE]
