Writing from my tropical and all metric island.
I have a triple MAKO auto drain the I am installing.
It came with no instructions but I have figure it out from looking at other installations (I think)
Problem...the 2 big holes (One on each end) which I think are for the final collective drain.
The supplier in the USA did not heed my request to send EVERYTHING I would need for the install.
No plug for one end and no ferrule to hose clamp a flexible pipe to, to drain the whole system.
The ONE lathe on the island that has the ability to accurately cut threads is missing the gear I need to get the pitch right.
Can anybody tell me what the thread for this part is. i have a friend in the USA who will be coming back here shortly, and can hand carry these two parts to me.
I just do not know what to order. I cannot find a metric thread to fit, unless it is a tapered thread, I do not think so, as it looks like the drain block is machined to receive a boss fitting.
The hole is 17.2 mm in diameter major pitch to major pitch ( Close to 11/16ths)
