Title: Two in one.
Post by zevenenergie on 09/16/19 at 10:24:21

Today I dit some thing remarkeble.

I put my oil plug in the lathe and drilled a hole in it.

Then I put a neodynium magnet in it.

Now I collect the metal particles that float in the oil. And I have a wear indicator.  :)

And I no longer have to wait for a red traffic light. because I also have a trafficlicht sensor trigger.  ;)

Neat !  

So , when you go into production I'll send my old one back to ya as a core charge and how much boot do ya need when ya get mine ready ?   :-?

I just checked and those magnets a pricey , then they want shipping on top of the price.    Getting them in bulk might make better sense ?

I whould love to make them for you, but I live in Europe.

Everybody is welcom to savagely steal this outstanding idea and take it in production.

It stays neatly in the hole due to the magnetic force alone, but to be sure I used JB weld  8-)

one more nice addition that I do to my drain plugs is to get  them drilled for safety wires.
Really not necessary but for me it is a piece of mind so I don't worry about my drain plug falling out some place.
