Need a new drain plug (bolt) as my trusty old Guzzi mechanic installed
the wrong bolt during his 9 month ordeal which caused the fluid to leak.
Where can I get one of these "drain Valves" Tim? Or where can I buy a
proper tranny drain plug/bolt? Still not on the road, my "friend"
mechanic hasn't had time to fix the screw ups the Guzzi shop did, but
things have finally slowed down in his shop, so perhaps he will get to
it soon. Lessons learned, will work on the Guzzi myself from here on
out after she is all set up and ready to roll. Weather in NJ has been
great, 60+ degrees F, nice. Hope it stays like this for awhile, perhaps
I'll be able to get in a ride or 2 before the winter settles in.
Keeping patient with "Patience" (my 71 Police Ambo).

There some nice brass drain valves available, like petcocks, and there is at least one that I use on my Cummins diesel, which is almost flush, and has a drain piece with a hose on it that screws into the new fitting to open the valve.
