    Wading Plugs

    I have the LT 95 fitted (I think from a Range Rover as it has the smaller handbrake fitted)
    What wading plugs would I need for deep water work.
    I see the hole in the bellhousing

    Any idea on bolt/plug size and if I should fit wading plugs to anything else

    The bellhousing is the only thing that needs a wading plug - though it is a good idea to check your diff and gearbox breathers aren't blocked.

    Also check what your adapter plate is like. The army ones are one piece so effectively sealed.
    The stage1 setup that I've got in my 110 has a gap in the middle of the adapter plate that is filled with a sheetmetal cover. Unless you seal it up the wading plug is just going to stop the bellhousing draining

    There are some photos of both my conversion thread to show the difference.

    Let me think...
    PeaNUT would be too small, macadamia too big. Probably a brasil NUT would be the best fit.

    Seriously though - I think you'd be better with a bolt or plug
    Could be 1/4 BSP but not 100% sure...

    wading plug size

    You could always hire a nut to do the job.
    My 2a has a bracket that you screw the plug into when not in use. Pitty the newer car don't have the same thing.
