Does anyone know the thread specs for a husky drain plug used on the mid to late 70's motors? I want to make a threaded tube to drain the oil past my skid plate. I have one of these for my KTM and it works great. Lay the bike down, unscrew the drain plug, screw in the plastic tube, stand ithe bike back up and drain the oil neatly into a pan or jug.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Pursuant to Hall's parts lists, the drain plug for mine (81' XC) and yours is the same part number - 16 12 537-01. With that being said, my drain plug measurements are 14mm X 25mm (this length includes the magnetic tip - 15mm length w/out including the tip) w/ a 2.0 pitch.
Hope this helps. Post up photos of project.
