From discussions on here in the past I believe it's a BS Conduit thread, the plugs are available.
Tapped holes in each the end of the 2 litre block
Oh and it's a Welch plug History of the Welch Plug probably 1" rather than 26mm.

Well I managed to remove leaking plug but it turns out that the hole is threaded, I tried to install a BSP 3/4” plug in the hole but it won’t go in. I believe it might be 1” BSF but I am not sure, does anyone have any knowledge regarding the thread my only other option would be to drill the hole to 26 mm and install a welch plug. The front one is a 26 mm Welch plug so I don’t know if someone in the past made a repair using a bolt or if that is original.image.jpgimage.jpg

Yes Conduit Thread. I have had three S1 80" LR's all had plumbing plugs fitted when I bought them. My guess is they taped a new thread to suit the plugs.IMAG0997.jpg IMAG0995.jpg IMAG0996.jpg
Don't forget to put an old towell or similar on top of your front wing (mudguard ) tops to save what's left of your paint when working uner the bonnet. As others have said, there's plenty of glossy repainted ones around, so look after whats's left of the original paint. Better to spend your $$$ on brakes and steering than paint.

I'd also point out that for these F-head engines, you may find it helps to remove the LH mudguard to work on the valve gear, or, as in this case, the manifold. It is not very difficult, and makes the engine work a lot easier.

I found that there was plenty of room without removing the mudguard.

With the 6-cylinder F-head it's just possible but probably easier if you remove the mudguard.
