"Could someone please tell me the size and thread for the oil drain plug on
the 1275 A-series??"
The dangers of having the wrong one. From this week's
AHSpares newsletter reporting on their sponsored AH 3000 racing at Snetterton:
"The circuit had dryed for the race, and after an excellent start Anders
converted his pole position to lead the opening lap establishing a
substancial gap at the front. A few laps into the race the overdrive stopped
working and we were lossing speed on the very long Revett staight.. b I had a
great battle with a hard charging Hugo Holland- Bosworth until the gearbox
started playing up, and eventually siezedb said Anders. Anders had to
abandon the race with David Smithies taking the victory."
"The problem
turned
out to be a loose overdrive drainplug causing all the oil to drain out
of the
gearbox. The gearbox has now been taken to Hardy
Engineering, the # 1
Austin-Healey transmission specialists, who will
completely renew the gearbox
for the team."
