Transfer case drain plug

[camel58]

Decided to change transfer case oil and when I went to put the drain plug back in found the thread striped on the drain hole . As the plug only uses half the depth of thread in the hole can you get longer plugs or will I have to get one made . I'm going to the Simpson desert in two weeks and need to fix this ASAP.

They don't make longer ones so you will have to make one up. Bloody rattle guns are the cause of it!! I have a box here with the same problem on the gearbox drain bung hole.

Thought I would have to .
