drain plug question
drain plug question somehow the threads on my drain/fill plug got chewed up on my new moser 9". it threaded in halfway by hand and then got tight so i put the wrench on it and i chewed up a thread or two. 
anyone have an idea on what tap and die size i would need
i know that it is 14 threads per inch, but i am unsure about the size.
any other ideas?
thanks.

May be that you'd get lucky, and find one of those self-
tapping oil pan plugs at the AutoZone fits the thread and
will clean it "well enough" to avoid re-tapping larger (esp.
if you get a nice bungy O-ring to seal with).

thanks for the input guys. I ended up going to J&L Industrial supply and picked up a tap and die(1/2 14TPI)
i smoothed out some of the rough threads and the drain plug went in like a charm
