M.Klapp Posted June 20, 2020 Report Posted June 20, 2020 Hey All, Anyone have any ideas as to where to find some king pin grease/welch plugs? The ones that came in my king pin kit are way too small. Upper one needs to be ~1.00" OD and the lower one is slightly smaller. Hoping there's a substitute out there, as I'm trying to get this thing rolling by Monday, if possible. Thanks, Mike Quote

Young Ed Posted June 20, 2020 Report Posted June 20, 2020 I believe when I bought extras for my plymouth they came from the dorman line. I had to buy a box of 10 but the parts store had no trouble ordering them. Quote
Tooljunkie Posted June 20, 2020 Report Posted June 20, 2020 Expansion plugs core plugs frost plugs. the best one is welch plug. I did save my old ones in case one pops out for some odd reason. But different size than yours Quote
M.Klapp Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Posted June 21, 2020 Hey Guys, Thanks for all you input. Unfortunately, these seem to be mostly discontinued or "unavailable". Good news, McMaster and Grainger both carry them, bad news, I have to wait and the shipping is more than the part . . . . Have a great father's day everyone! Mike Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 21, 2020 Report Posted June 21, 2020 great part of online is the availability of parts..the shipping often can kill a deal.....but compared to running about in a community check stores for this and that if in stock etc....you often ahead of the game time and trouble and fuel cost will equal shipping sometimes and you have to still order the part as was not found locally. Just think of it as a better use of time and money...where often time is money...you make your order, pay the shipping and spend the time normally lost running about to attend to other things in the queue. In the long run it is a win win but if it is an immediate need...that awaiting arrival on shipping is a killer.....! Quote
Tooljunkie Posted June 21, 2020 Report Posted June 21, 2020 In a pinch, i would crank out plugs on the lathe.brass and epoxy them in. Quote
