Conquest sump plug

Post by Phillmore »

Am I correct in thinking that this part is common to the Century and strict Conquest? I need a new one and John Nash only lists it under Century.

Thanks Neil I'll order one then. Mine looks as though it's only ever been removed using stilsons! Too mangled for a socket.

It makes you wonder what sort of hamfisted previous owners our cars have had.

Generally this one that I'm re commissioning is very unmolested and has been well looked after so I'm not sure what happened to the sump plug.

Judging from several removed over the years, a chisel and hammer were the usual tools for removing brass sump plugs in the 1950s and 60s.

Used on the SP and MM too.

Cheers

New sump plug arrived today from John Nash so hopefully oil and filter change this weekend and good to go as they say.
