hauser2169 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 so since times are tough and i need a magnetic drain plug i deciede to make my own. i went to my local ace hardware and got some small magnets for 3 dollars. got my grinder out and shaved them down so they would fit flush on the end of the bolt. i then cleaned the bolt and magnet off. i got some krazy glue that bonds to ceramics and metal and added a few drops to the bottom of the bolt. with the magnet and the glue its sure not to come off. i been runnin it in my shee for about 2 months, those little magnets sure do grab alot of crap http://s114.photobucket.com/albums/n263/ha...=magnetbolt.jpg Quote
278 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Thats a good idea I might have to try this. Quote
87sheerips Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Cool Idea, but a little scary IMO. Be careful! Quote
Rodneya Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Cool Idea, but a little scary IMO. Be careful! Definitely scary. There was a post on here about the magnet coming out of a drain plug and grenading the guys tranny. If I remember right it was Snopzinski (????spelling) who posted Quote
Snopczynski Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 A banshee magnetic drain plug is $12.00 Quote
dragbanshee98 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 A banshee magnetic drain plug is $12.00 lol i hear ya there... the way i see it is if you can afford to sink money into aftermarket, or hell afford to buy the wheeler at that, then y not be able to afford somethin simple that is a huge insurance piece?? but i do like the idea of bein able to make your own! and when you say it picks up alot of metal you may want to get that checked out cause u may have a problem there lol Quote
