3 Channel ABS Plug & Thread Size? So heres the situation,
My original 4 channel 10 bolt is shot.
I bought a used 18k mile 3 channel 10 bolt and is getting installed right now.
However, My 3 channel is missing the sensor and I need something to fit this hole. (Completely forgot, rear was sitting in my garage for 3 months, ugh)
I guess these sensors are like $200 and I don't want to spend that money on something that isnt going to be plugged in anyways, unless I have to.
With that being said, I also don't want to half *** it and something go wrong in the future.
Soo, does anyone know if I could just fill this hole with a dummy plug? Does anyone know what the thread/size is for this abs sensor?
You would think if I could get that I could just find a same sized plug and the issue would be resolved. All help and input is appreciated.

Here's some measurements from my old 10 bolt.
Sensor hole dia. .808
Sensor mount bolt size M6 x .500 long.
Maybe you could find a welch (freeze) plug that will fit. Another option is a expandable rubber plug from the hardware store but those have hardware that could fall into the rear end if it comes apart.
Strange S60s use the stock 3 channel sensor and they come with a plug installed in that hole that's retained with circlips. The plug has a threaded hole in the top of it to install a bolt to grab to remove the plug. Maybe Strange would sell you the plug and o-ring. You'd have to adapt it to the 10 bolt because there are no circlips to retain it.

So this plug for the s60, it wouldn't be a direct fit wo the circlips for my 10 bolt? I have to call Strange.

I guess I may have to take the route of finding a suitable plug.

Right?! for the same damn thing which won't even be plugged in. lol My buddy kept saying he was only finding ones that were like $200.
You don't think that since I'm not getting an Acdelco one it won't fit properly? I would think if anything the electronics wouldnt be up to par.
