Default Differential fill and drain plug thread and size ?

I was going to get into some R&D this week on the 350 differential cooler and forgot to order the up the AN conversion fittings for the differential. Anyone know the size/thread of the plug ?

There's a couple of diff oil cooler threads out there, I'm sure one of them has the sizes listed...

I don't know for sure but 12mm x 1.25 seems to be a reaccuring theme on the Z.

You can probably unscrew it enough to measure the diameter without losing much fluid. Have some other bolts handy to compare the pitch.

You might also look at the Dorman site. They sell all sorts of drain plugs, and their site will probably tell you the size and applications.
