Wanted Cyclone Chain case plugs

Post by jdsledsrgr8 »

Lost the plastic chain case plugs when replacing the track recently. But while I am asking, I know the Liquidator has metal plugs and those would be much nicer than the plastic ones.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Matt, I should have at least one. Never heard of "plastic" ones, only metal.

If DA cannot find some for you, you can most likely find oil pan drain plugs at your local auto parts store that will fit and look good. That is what I did. Just info, no intent to get between any deals.

Don, my 77 has the plastic (nylon) plugs. I'm not sure they are original, but it's what was there when I purchased it.

Matt, I think I should have a set if you can't find any, I just need to dig around a find them. Let me know and I will take a look.

Cool, now I can't say I've never seen plastic ones. All mine are metal. Matt, you still need a pair?

Brock has a pair for me although we have yet to connect, my fault too busy with other stuff. So thanks for all the help.

The insight on the plastic versus metal is interesting. I have owned 2 cylones and both of them came with the plastic plugs, so it sounds like many folks were like me and lost the metal ones and picked up plastic ones from a local motor shop.

Just to add more data, both the Texas Twin's (76 Cyclones) have plastic plugs. I believe they were original.
