Wonderful "vlog". I like this type of style. It's fun to watch you just "live your life", whether it involves cars or not. With you crazy sense of humor and your quirkiness, it's enjoyable and actually kind of relaxing. I've been watching since you had about 26K subscribers. Watching you grow and learn is fun. Your ability to speak to the camera and make me feel like you are actually talking to each of us on an individual basis, is quite the feat. Not many can do it like you do. Very refreshing and entertaining. Feels like I just had a yoga session. My brain is calm again and I am happy again. Don't quit and BE SAFE!
That plug for that turbo is the reason why I like your Channel ,that is real life, never having all the parts to do a job and always have to go back to the parts store. I like that you show it, tells me that I'm not the only one that has that problem.
Your channel is great no matter what you do. It’s one of the few channels that I make sure I clear the time to watch each video in its entirety. Informative with the perfect mix of quirky. You’re doing great!!
Let me just say, your videos are some of the best-composed and edited out on the tubes-of-You...and even better is your attention to detail. I would buy a car from you no questions asked. Love what you do! Just wish you were working on an A3 3.2 VR6 so I could watch as a reference for my own car. ✌🏻
Dennis Fernau Did it at 66k miles when I bought it and again just a month or so ago at 89k, so that should be good. I guess I should mention I paid a shop to do it...need Sarah to show me how to DIY it! 👍🏻
@@mbk1487 It's pretty simple--well, hahahah, german simple. You'll definitely need a scan tool that can read the trans temp. There's a "snorkel" inside the drain plug. After draining, you screw in the snorkel, basically overfill the trans a bit (wasteful, I know--don't get me started) turn on the car and let the new fluid drain out while it warms to 35ºC - 40ºC. Run it through all gears (R, N, D, and back to park for 5 seconds). At that temp. the excess fluid should be eliminated and you just plug it back up. A little tedious and time consuming--but you'll take a $350 - $400 job down to about $120 + your time. There are some good videos out there.
I wouldn’t worry too much over what some of these mugs think. You have done a great job so far from the beginning! It isn’t easy being a one person show by yourself! I don’t think you should beat yourself up! Your videos are both fun and informative. Not too many people can do that well!💖
I love everything Sarah-n-Tuned, whatever you're doing and how you're doing it. I can really appreciate the extra vlog content. I like seeing the parts of where you are, that you take time to relax and really appreciate. I've always had to work on things myself and sometimes being alone can drive me a little stir crazy. I find myself doing the same thing a lot of the time, grabbing a bite to eat and going out somewhere in the country and enjoying the sunset or watching a storm roll through.
Having worked in Television in Aus for over a decade (now retired) you have got IT. Always the problems are production quality, continuity, time and money. I love your content so it doesn't bother me. I can't believe professionals are not lined up to help you because you are different. You will get there, trust me, you have got it and don't be afraid to ask!
Witnessing your trials and tribulations, parts that don't fit, and just the general hassles balanced by the absolute joy of a job well done make this so much more than just another car video... Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
We have cotton candy grapes here in FL too! Love watching you always, love your style and humor! I find it hard to believe you're shy! You speak to 150K of us and you're so natural at it. Love ya!
Absolutely love your videos. The extra vlog style content makes it more relaxed and personal. You’re so lucky to have all that jaw dropping beauty on your doorstep, the Tucson scenery is mind blowing. Sushi is one of my favourites. Really exciting that Teeter Tot is progressing nicely & glad that Mr Dos is resting securely. Take time to care for yourself young lady, you’re the most important part of your life
I like this style of video. It gives us more of your personality and "weirdness" and is one of the reasons your videos are great. Also, your smile when checking on Mr Dos was priceless!
Love the video and the vlogging. Your content is always engaging and entertaining whether it is just day to day life, wrenching, or reviews. You are just down to earth and genuinely Sarah. Watching your videos is like hanging out with an old friend! Keep up the great work.
You are the sweetest mechanics (and one of the most capable), on youtube. It's a pleasure watch your project going. Love from an italian meccanic like you
Thank you for showing the landscape around Arizona I have been through the US many times but unfortunately Arizona was one area that my work is never took me through I absolutely enjoy your videos you're an incredible woman my hat goes off to you for doing all of this love you to pieces for your energy and your humour keep up the good work Kelowna B.C. canada
Living in Maryland just outside the city I have to say I enjoyed the shots of the views from the roads you were scouting. Just beautiful country out there in Arizona.
Sarah, your suspension prep will make the job easier when you come to fit the coilovers. The Powerflex bushes are good ones. I fitted a pair of front ARB (sway bar) to my 2001 Astra to replace the worn originals. You should notice a difference once you've installed all those Powerflex bushes.
The powerflex bushes are really good quality, but you will have fun pressing in the front wishbone rear bush 🙈, they really tighten up the handling and keep the car totally planted, plus they don’t spoil the ride or add any more noise into the cabin, the dog bone bush also improves the gearchange 👌
If you were talking about paint drying, I would be interested. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way. Other than that, always account for small Sarah, before closing the trunk lid. very important.
Only when you said it's for the analytics is when I realized I watched the whole thing that far without skipping or going to watch something else, I actually watched the whole thing through straight which is rare for me!
I cannot adequately express how happy it makes me to see someone take the time to coddle a furry spidey and put em outside versus killing them for no good reason. Hope you're having a wonderful day! :)
Really enjoyable content presented in an easy style. I liked the editing and fluid pace of your vlogging Sarah. The more technical and automotive review videos are great as well, which adds a nice mix of content to an already excellent channel. Appreciative of all your hard work, and the hours of entertainment you have produced for us here.
Your videos has inspired me to fix my truck, this has been waiting to do for some time now. Just didn't have it in me, but needless to say. I fixed my break light finally, I even cleaned the back side of the housing!! Love your videos!!
FYI some suspension bolts will fit in that turbo manifold. Not sure about VAG stuff, but a super-common Honda rear LCA bolt is perfect. 90173-SR3-003 M10 x 80mm and 1.25mm pitch. The last 5mm is tapered. Brazing the brass plug should work, the turbine housing won't get near the EGT temps. Brass melts at 1600F and iron would be glowing orange at that point.
Honestly your channel is amazing. FUNNY, GREAT CONTENT, INFORMATIVE, and your personality cracks me up. Thank you Sarah for these awesome vlogs and projects. 😀👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
that brass fitting you have there looks like 1/4" npt (or NPS, npt = tapered, nps = straight). These are just over 13mm and the thread pitch (18tpi) is very close to 1.5mm... It's like 1.4111mm. You can also get BSP (bspt = taper or bspp = parallel) threads which is also 1/4" (19tpi). Don't assume that because it's german the threads are metric. PT (japanese standard) is the same as BSP... yet they're measured in inches. For instance the oil pressure sensors on japanese cars use 1/8" BSPT thread. 13mm isn't really used for metric fittings but I wouldn't put it past audi to use such a thing. For random bolts and fittings I really like using mcmaster carr. They have EVERYTHING. Also if you can bring the fitting to a local hose and fitting place they can likely match it up... I only know the places like this in Canada... but I'm sure there are some in your area. Good luck!
The video was good. You're funny and charming. And I love that you're not afraid to be a geek. What you do with your hands is make "the chicken" with one hand and push it away with the other. And, pretend to talk to it so people think you're nuts. That's fun in traffic!
Inspiring. You're tenacity is phenomenal! Originally started following because of the TT project car. Now awaiting updates on all projects. Keep up the good work Sarah!
I like the vlog content. It works mixed in with some working on the cars. I find it interesting to see something other than the inside of your garage.The trip out to the middle of nowhere to see the mountains was cool, along with the drifting.
Love the new style where we get to see your wonder humor !!!! It was nice also to break it up with views of the landscape. Keep on keeping on. I love all your videos.
I like getting to see other sides of you other than just working on cars Sarah or car review Sarah. I feel like it helps develop a more personal relationship.
It made me feel good for you, Sarah, that in this episode you were so relaxed, with a little more down time. Bent rod, wrong plug (weld up the old fitting, please), heck, roll with the punches, no bigee. Don't get me wrong, I love the videos where you get a little out of sorts, or frustrated, too. We get to share in that little roller coaster ride of emotions. I guess what I'm trying to say is TH-cam has way too much glib, scripted nonsense, but with your channel it comes across so much more like real life actually happens. You're a genuine character, not a prefabricated caricature, and the camera captures that. Any mix of vlog and wrenching works fine, for you.
Sarah -n- Tuned Just like a Pink lyric. Go away Give me a chance to miss you Say goodbye It'll make me want to kiss you I love you so Much more when you're not here Watchin' all the bad shows Drinking all of my beer I don't believe Adam and Eve Spent every goddamn day together If you give me some room, there will be room enough for two (two) MR2 that is!😁 Hope Mr Dos starts returning some of the love you’ve given him.
Great video Sarah you are a very driven person in my opinion to handle the up’s and down’s with all the stuff going on with the TT by the way love the nails I don’t know how you keep them looking so nice 👍🏻
on bolts the general rule is you need an amount of threads equal to the width of the bolt and it will reach it's full potential for strength and the plug is NPT pipe thread. I'm not sure you read these but I tried.
Love the video, and totally understand visiting the car. I'll bet at night the place you started the video would be fantastic for looking at the stars, you just have no idea how many are gone because of light pollution being in or near a city until you see them in a place far enough out
I'm here for the TT. I have a slightly not modern version and i have been through my own set of woes. Clutch, ic, turbo, vacuum and high pressure leaks, dash LCD, etc. .. and the list goes on I do my own ECU remap and I'm really happy with my work
Two places to find M13x1.50 hardware/plug: Coast Fabrication in So Cal. They supply hardware to the motorsports industry worldwide. I’ve bought many things from them SAE and Metric that no one else in the USA had. McMaster-Carr. If you have used them you are missing out on the best place for bits and bobs, hardware of every kind, etc. Locally try your friendly Fastenal or IBT, they’ve both saved my bacon more than a few times. In fact get set up at Fastenal and stop over paying for hardware at the local hardware store.
M13 - 1.5 cut a longer bolt, file the end with a slight taper, file the the burrs in the thread and your in business. Bolt deburring drill bits online are good for that kind of need.. * deburring isn't a word according to spell checker....
I could be wrong, but pipe plugs / fittings will thread in a few threads and get tight because they have a taper to them, or the threads balloon out... if you will, to create a tight fit so there is no leakage vs your standard threads like a bolt which and engineered to stretch for fastening. Don't quote me on that though. lol
Sarah, I am amazed how you do all that work in a non air conditioned garage. Oh my god! Yes, you most likely been pushing yourself too much in there. Perhaps a donated 24,000 Btu unit would be a nice thing for you. It would keep your garage less than 80 degrees quite easily. Love your vids, btw, and many kudos to you and your projects
I like the vlog format.keep doing it. also Sarah watch that heat, a headache could be the first step to heat exhaustion.when i was a youte i was working on a roof all day in 95 degree heat, I was sick for the next two days. It's no joke.
So Sarah, do you know the trick to stiffen up the wastegate accuator. Use the 2 smaller springs from the home depot door spring pak. They are worth about 2lbs each. One end around the accuator nipple and the other end over the end of the rod at the arm of the wastegate.. oh ya the accuator adjustment is three turns after the nut seats (stops turning with your fingers).
2:44 Sarah, missing your car is not weird at all, it´s a perfectly normal thing for any car-guy/girl. I think that sometimes it happens even to people who are not really car enthusiasts.
Ohhh my GGGoooooood!!! I have had those "cotton candy" grapes and they're OK at best. p.s. You are beautiful and talented. Your personality, your physicality, your humor, your awkwardness, your face, your body, EVERYTHING about you is amazingly attractive. Im sure everyone agrees.
I used power flex on my 86 Ford Capri and they lasted 20 years in the hot summers of Spain some of them looked as good as the day they were put on (just sold the car) Highly recommend them
All good, I have a TT 225 bam also it's good to watch, mine is almost the same condition needs suspension sorting, already sorted all the vacuum lines catch can and head gasket
Another option on the bastard fitting would be to cut off the other thread and drill and tap the hole for a convenient size and run a set screw down or a bolt if you have enough clearance with some high temp sealant.
Another cracking video, actually being all mixed up is my fave You never give up , you clean and you are the hottest and most talented mechanic I’ve ever watched Brilliant
Cute! I love that you went to go visit Mr. Dos! I’m weird. I talk to my cars all the time. Actually, that probably comes from talking to my parrot all day long (I work from home a lot!) I catching myself taking to myself in public now. It’s great. 🤔
I thought that initially however Sarah then shows us the fitting that came out and that did not look tapered to me, was a parallel thread and seals on the shoulder. So a standard bolt with a copper washer should be just fine.
I will say that I like to see more work getting done then the vlog style of video but I know that it can't be all work and no play I generally like a 70%/30% split. That being said I do love your videos and can tell that you put a lot of work into them and appreciate that so much!
You may be able to locate an M13X1.5 "oversized" steel drain plug...thayre made as a M12 resize for stripped M12 oil pan bungs. Try NAPA machine shop or any other engine shop may have one.

Liking the vloggy vibe. Makes it feel real. I too often realise there is no food in my house, but am glad the spiders here in the UK are smaller...
Young women who would never otherwise consider a career in auto (any) mechanics should be watching your videos. You are an inspiration.
Wonderful "vlog". I like this type of style. It's fun to watch you just "live your life", whether it involves cars or not.

Love the vlog format. A bit of car stuff, a little sushi & sunsets, throw in a tarantula & some innuendos = a day with Sarah. Great stuff. Thank you.
Throw in a tarantula? I rather like my sushi with ginger. :P
That plug for that turbo is the reason why I like your Channel ,that is real life, never having all the parts to do a job and always have to go back to the parts store. I like that you show it, tells me that I'm not the only one that has that problem.
I love the channel, its just honest. No fluff. Sarah working out the issues. Keep it up!!!!
Your channel is great no matter what you do. It’s one of the few channels that I make sure I clear the time to watch each video in its entirety. Informative with the perfect mix of quirky. You’re doing great!!
Vlog content is definitely a plus. Breaks up content. Watched you since the beginning. You are awesome
Let me just say, your videos are some of the best-composed and edited out on the tubes-of-You...and even better is your attention to detail. I would buy a car from you no questions asked. Love what you do! Just wish you were working on an A3 3.2 VR6 so I could watch as a reference for my own car. ✌🏻

Can not imagine why anyone wouldnt love this absolute breath of fresh air. Thanks for your huge effort Sarah.
Picking up my 3rd 1.8t car tomorrow, glad someone on youtube is giving 1.8ts the love they deserve!
I enjoy working on suspension upgrades very satisfying replacing dirty rusty stuff with brand new shiny bits
I'll watch whatever you do any way you do it. 😍
dit·to. ✔ ( I don't even mind the *adds* ;)
Yea me too, love those eyes
Sarah your VLOG on making progress on the TT is like watching an ASMR video. Soooooo soothing ☺️🤗
You are the sweetest mechanics (and one of the most capable), on youtube. It's a pleasure watch your project going. Love from an italian meccanic like you
Thank you for showing the landscape around Arizona I have been through the US many times but unfortunately Arizona was one area that my work is never took me through I absolutely enjoy your videos you're an incredible woman my hat goes off to you for doing all of this love you to pieces for your energy and your humour keep up the good work
Kelowna B.C. canada
I like the vlogging aspect. Gives a bit more variety to the videos than just working on the cars.
Living in Maryland just outside the city I have to say I enjoyed the shots of the views from the roads you were scouting. Just beautiful country out there in Arizona.
Sarah, your suspension prep will make the job easier when you come to fit the coilovers. The Powerflex bushes are good ones. I fitted a pair of front ARB (sway bar) to my 2001 Astra to replace the worn originals. You should notice a difference once you've installed all those Powerflex bushes.
The powerflex bushes are really good quality, but you will have fun pressing in the front wishbone rear bush 🙈, they really tighten up the handling and keep the car totally planted, plus they don’t spoil the ride or add any more noise into the cabin, the dog bone bush also improves the gearchange 👌
If you were talking about paint drying, I would be interested. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way. Other than that, always account for small Sarah, before closing the trunk lid. very important.
Only when you said it's for the analytics is when I realized I watched the whole thing that far without skipping or going to watch something else, I actually watched the whole thing through straight which is rare for me!
I like the vlog-heavy content. Yeah, life happens! Project cars happen. Love the views out in the sticks. Beautiful country!
Hi Sarah. M- 13x1.5 is a common oil pan drain plug size. We carried 6 to 8 different ones when I worked at pep boys. They are in the HELP section❤️
I cannot adequately express how happy it makes me to see someone take the time to coddle a furry spidey and put em outside versus killing them for no good reason. Hope you're having a wonderful day! :)
Your vlog portions of the video are really great. I really enjoy the trips out into the middle of nowhere, because of the such beautiful scenery.
Really enjoyable content presented in an easy style. I liked the editing and fluid pace of your vlogging Sarah. The more technical and automotive review videos are great as well, which adds a nice mix of content to an already excellent channel.

Powerflex is brilliant, I used them on my 1986 Toyota pick up when I lifted it, still on the truck to this day.... 😀 And still doing the job.
My buddy out on the base gets me the hook up on nuts and bolts because it’s nice having something that doesn’t rust
I like getting to see other sides of you other than just working on cars Sarah or car review Sarah. I feel like it helps develop a more personal relationship.
Great Vlog Sarah! I enjoyed the mix of random events, sunsets/dinner and car work.
Great seeing you being you. Recently found your channel. Love it. 🇬🇧
It made me feel good for you, Sarah, that in this episode you were so relaxed, with a little more down time. Bent rod, wrong plug (weld up the old fitting, please), heck, roll with the punches, no bigee. Don't get me wrong, I love the videos where you get a little out of sorts, or frustrated, too.

Love that you felt the need to visit Mr Dos...so sweet!💋
Lindsay Roberts I missed him!
Sarah -n- Tuned
Just like a Pink lyric.
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
I love you so
Much more when you're not here
Watchin' all the bad shows
Drinking all of my beer
I don't believe Adam and Eve
Spent every goddamn day together
If you give me some room, there will be room enough for two (two)
MR2 that is!😁
Hope Mr Dos starts returning some of the love you’ve given him.
Great video Sarah you are a very driven person in my opinion to handle the up’s and down’s with all the stuff going on with the TT by the way love the nails I don’t know how you keep them looking so nice 👍🏻
In Tucson, Ace is the Place for all your hardware needs. Fantastic nut, bolt, screw section!
VLOG=good. Edited video=good. Anything with Sarah and cars=good :)
Love it Sarah, keep it coming. Everyone, Support Sarah on Patreon.
on bolts the general rule is you need an amount of threads equal to the width of the bolt and it will reach it's full potential for strength and the plug is NPT pipe thread. I'm not sure you read these but I tried.
Love the video, and totally understand visiting the car. I'll bet at night the place you started the video would be fantastic for looking at the stars, you just have no idea how many are gone because of light pollution being in or near a city until you see them in a place far enough out
Right call on the copper. Before any metal reaches its melting point, it softens, so you would have an issue, even if it was not that close.
Bless us with as much goofiness as possible Sarah!
Liking the extra vlog content
I'm here for the TT. I have a slightly not modern version and i have been through my own set of woes. Clutch, ic, turbo, vacuum and high pressure leaks, dash LCD, etc. .. and the list goes on
I do my own ECU remap and I'm really happy with my work
I'm impressed with your work and laugh at some of the difficulties you encounter
Hey Sarah! I LOVE having the "vloggy" content. Please continue to your heart's content. Love, Me.
I enjoyed the free form feel of this video. I think this is a good direction to go for some of your future content.
Look like summer there. There was no summer here this year in Alberta Canada 😞
Your so lucky to live where you get summer most of the year.
Cut drill and tap that original fitting and make your own bushing 🤗 then plug it with whatever size plug/ bolt u tapped it for. Because plumbing 😎
11:42 I love that specific vehicle part. Label is nice and clear.
Two places to find M13x1.50 hardware/plug: Coast Fabrication in So Cal. They supply hardware to the motorsports industry worldwide.

In fact get set up at Fastenal and stop over paying for hardware at the local hardware store.
This video is fine you can always tell no matter what you put out you put a lot of effort into it that's why I think you have such loyal Subs
M13 - 1.5 cut a longer bolt, file the end with a slight taper, file the the burrs in the thread and your in business. Bolt deburring drill bits online are good for that kind of need..
* deburring isn't a word according to spell checker....
This made me homesick. Just take speedway west until you get to the scenic overlook. Be there at sunset. Beautiful view. Great photo op
Gates pass? Can’t remember.
Sarah, m13 x 1.5 is also a sump plug size, try searching fleebay, or your local store.... keep up the good work Stewart.
Love this and every video you post! They're very honest and genuine.
I could be wrong, but pipe plugs / fittings will thread in a few threads and get tight because they have a taper to them, or the threads balloon out... if you will, to create a tight fit so there is no leakage vs your standard threads like a bolt which and engineered to stretch for fastening. Don't quote me on that though. lol
Sarah, I am amazed how you do all that work in a non air conditioned garage. Oh my god! Yes, you most likely been pushing yourself too much in there. Perhaps a donated 24,000 Btu unit would be a nice thing for you. It would keep your garage less than 80 degrees quite easily.
Love your vids, btw, and many kudos to you and your projects
I like the vlog format.keep doing it. also Sarah watch that heat, a headache could be the first step to heat exhaustion.when i was a youte i was working on a roof all day in 95 degree heat, I was sick for the next two days. It's no joke.
For the Trbo port ... Tap out the turbo hole to M14 x 1.5 :-)
Sarah, give me the part number for that M13 plug and where you want it sent to. I will go buy it from a dealer here in UK.
Spen Mac I have one now, thank you!
@@SarahnTuned Grand.
You know do what you want because we are here to kick it with you. Good company!
Copperstate Nut and Bolt here in the Phoenix area has never let me down on all the weird bolt, nut, plug sizes . There are 2 in your area!
For that M13 bold. I would have create one for you on the lathe. Welding is so permanent. But compliments for your talents.
So Sarah, do you know the trick to stiffen up the wastegate accuator. Use the 2 smaller springs from the home depot door spring pak. They are worth about 2lbs each. One end around the accuator nipple and the other end over the end of the rod at the arm of the wastegate.. oh ya the accuator adjustment is three turns after the nut seats (stops turning with your fingers).
This new format works for me. I also like the old, so whichever you decide to go with I will continue to be a fan.

Sarah, missing your car is not weird at all, it´s a perfectly normal thing for any car-guy/girl. I think that sometimes it happens even to people who are not really car enthusiasts.
Live in Florida now, but this video makes me miss the the desert so much...
You could always take Mr Dos for a joy ride when there's not enough project content, everyone likes Mr Dos and you behind the wheel.
Ohhh my GGGoooooood!!! I have had those "cotton candy" grapes and they're OK at best.
p.s. You are beautiful and talented. Your personality, your physicality, your humor, your awkwardness, your face, your body, EVERYTHING about you is amazingly attractive.
Im sure everyone agrees.
I used power flex on my 86 Ford Capri and they lasted 20 years in the hot summers of Spain some of them looked as good as the day they were put on (just sold the car) Highly recommend them
Great video as always Sarah, just do you, that's why we all watch. Switch it up, swing it around, and get those cars going.
All good, I have a TT 225 bam also it's good to watch, mine is almost the same condition needs suspension sorting, already sorted all the vacuum lines catch can and head gasket
Another option on the bastard fitting would be to cut off the other thread and drill and tap the hole for a convenient size and run a set screw down or a bolt if you have enough clearance with some high temp sealant.
"Do it right or don't do it at all", gosh I love the way you think Sarah :)
Another cracking video, actually being all mixed up is my fave
You never give up , you clean and you are the hottest and most talented mechanic I’ve ever watched
Brilliant
Cute! I love that you went to go visit Mr. Dos! I’m weird. I talk to my cars all the time. Actually, that probably comes from talking to my parrot all day long (I work from home a lot!) I catching myself taking to myself in public now. It’s great. 🤔
Damn I lived in Tucson for a summer back in 2004 for a summer and I don't remember how beautiful the desert is.
Love the additional vlogging you do, you are always nicer to look at than the cars anyway :)
i think that EGT hole's thread is NPT its tapered so it goes tighter as you bolt it in...
I thought that initially however Sarah then shows us the fitting that came out and that did not look tapered to me, was a parallel thread and seals on the shoulder. So a standard bolt with a copper washer should be just fine.
@@nigelbarton8350 look closer... 9:52 that looks NPT to me have a hole bunch of those in a drawer here... Hydraulic feral style adapters
Threads do not taper, ever..
@@marksmallman4572 ever is a mighty long time, just sayin... :)
@@marksmallman4572 that is incorrect. The 'T' at the end on NPT stands for Tapered.
Yep, just welding the fitting shut seems like the most logical way to solve your problem. 👍
I will say that I like to see more work getting done then the vlog style of video but I know that it can't be all work and no play I generally like a 70%/30% split. That being said I do love your videos and can tell that you put a lot of work into them and appreciate that so much!
You may be able to locate an M13X1.5 "oversized" steel drain plug...thayre made as a M12 resize for stripped M12 oil pan bungs. Try NAPA machine shop or any other engine shop may have one.
LordTominator I got one off Amazon
@@SarahnTuned cool, yah I did send you a Amazon screenshot on IG
Could also try 1/4NPT plug.. pipe thread is world wide. Esp on Federal emmissions crap
