| Post subject: | aluminum and pipe plugs |
The Offy has a threaded fitting for a a vacuum fitting. I'm not using it, so I'm putting a pipe plug in it. What is the best material to use in the aluminum intake? I picked up a brass one, though the fitting was steel. Is there enough heat to be worried about expansion rates? Should I use Steel instead? Probably doesn't matter, but just in case!  CJ |

Really doesn't matter. Use what you have. Brass is good. |

Brass plugs seem to come out of old aluminum castings the easiest. If you use a steel or cast iron plug, be sure to use a little anti-seize compound on it. DD |
