Hi All,



I am currently on the road in Northern Florida and I have a small problem that I need to deal with.  The thread has stripped on the nipple that holds the EGT probe in on the rear exhaust pipe (914 Turbo) and its letting exhaust gas out.



My current thought is to remove it, try and find a stainless steel bolt to screw into the fitting on the exhaust pipe to blank it off.  So, the question to the forum is, does any one know the size and pitch of the thread on on the exhaust pipe port ?



Next problem..... Because Ican't access the forum to read mail while I am on the road  I NEED YOUR REPLY TO GO TO  paul_mcallister(at)hotmail.com, NOT TO THE FORUM.



Thanks,  Paul

You want a brass 1/8" mpt compression coupling,avail at any Home Depot. You may need to open the hole for the probe though.  [quote][b]

Hi all,



Just a quick note to everyone who answered my question off forum.  The

thread turned out to be M8 x 1.0 mm pitch.



I couldn't find it in stainless steel (on a Sunday afternoon) but AutoZone

were able to sell me a steel one, along with some graphite based anti seize.



So, I was able to remove the EGT, tie it out of the way and blank off the

port and be on my way.  Just imagine my chances of doing all of this in a

small town on a Sunday with a certified aircraft.... I'll still be there

trying to figure it out.... I just love my Europa



Paul
