    Sump bung magnets

    Thought I'd do a proper thread about this...

    So who wants one or two?

    I'd rather send one package Welly way and one down to Chchch and let you'se guys squabble over them like seagulls.

    Cost?

    You'll all owe me coffees

    Drill a 6.5mm hole about 5mm deep in the bung and drop in a magnet.

    They really work...

    why you ask, but to catch any lose metal matter in ya engine.
    my old DR650 had no fifth but every oil change i'd find some of it on the magnet, i know the filters there but its good to have a little extra

    As soon as I start doing something like an oil change the phone will ring...

    The white glove means I can just moonwalk over to the phone to answer it.

    Yes, I'd like one of your magnets. How much would you like for one, and where should I send it?

    Edit - how do I send you coffee? Starbucks vouchers or summat?
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Try http://www.magnets.co.nz/ for all your magnet needs. Neodymium magnets are the most suitable for a sump plug, make sure to glue it into the plug with an araldite or similar type glue. Excess heat will also render the magnet useless [above 120 degree C]

    Cancel my previous order - I'll have two please I might be able to be a courier if the package needs shipment around mid/late September.
