C-145 Plugs

Post by dstates »

I’m looking for some help with a part number for the three plugs that go into the left case half. I don’t see them called out in the engine parts catalog. Does anyone know a part number or a size?

Thanks,
Doug

Doug, can't help with a plug number, but that is a very nice looking case half!

Thanks, John.

Turns out I shouldn't need the part number as the company that inspected the case said they should have sent me new plugs. Hopefully they will get them here soon. I'll share the part number when I get it.

It’s been 19 years, but I seem to remember they are 1/8 NPT steel pipe plugs. I do remember that they aren’t calked out in eirher the parts or overhaul manuals.
