Magnetic sump plug for DB2 to AM V8, possibly Virage, 1/2" bsp thread, 1/2" bsp hex for 1/2" bsp socket, catches metallic particles floating around in the sump,

We were fed up with poor quality drain plugs from various suppliers, we looked at the DB2 solid sump plug & realised that with a little modification it was a superb design, so we redrew it with the flange a little bigger for modern sealing washers, drilled it & fitted a magnet, (DB2's never had a magnet) then drilled the hex for lockwire - using lockwire is now universal in any form of motorsport, but it can easliy be carried out an a roadcar aswell, of course you dont need to use it.

We also looked at the DB4 to V8 sump plug & decided that was poorly made as it didn't seal properly / easily so although not technically correct for a DB4 to AM V8 it works well (the DB4 / AM V8 uses a 3/8" bsp hexagon, our plug uses a 1/2" bsp hex so helps stop the plug corners rounding off)

Uses modern Dowty self centralising seal (steel outer washer with rubber sealing insert)
