The plugs are M14 x1.5 pitch. I think that they need to be 25 mm long, but I'm
guessing. I'll know more in a few days.

If this is a 2000, simple plugs will result in nasty 'bird chirp' sounds.
By the way, those are metric threads! Using a standard plug will
'almost' fit, and mess up the threads for if you ever want/need to
restore the system!

See if you can convince Tom Walter to machine some more sets.
He takes your money and turns around and donates it to a worthy
charity (was it the Cancer Society, Tom?). Tom's set is designed
to prevent the chirping.
Rallye Roadster makes a two-piece set that properly fills the hole
and avoids the chirping, too.
