	I changed the chain case lube in my new 1979 Kawasaki Drifter tonight and when I was putting the site plug back in the plastic plug stripped. Does anyone know what I can replace the plug with? What size plug will fit? Stock it's the red plug that is on the chain case cover just above where the speedometer is located. Heres a pic of my Drifter- runs great after a good cleaning and some new crank seals! 78 Drifter side http://www.snowmobilefanatics.net/ltd440snowrider Check out my showcase! http://icecap.us/index.php Click the above link to read scientific data about global warming >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	the plug itself is plastic? yes, you should be able to take the plug to a hardware store and get a bolt that will fit. or you can take the plastic plug to the hardware store, get the next bigger tap and a bolt to make a new thread and plug. nothing goes like 3 holes!!
