    The head of the steel sump plug takes a 3/4 inch spanner or a 19 mm metric spanner.

    If you measure the diameter of the threaded plug end it should be approximately 22 mm across (including the width of the thread).

    The height of the plug is approximately 19 mm.

    If that is what you have then it is probably the correct one. I do not know what the standard " thread designation" is for this plug.

    Cheers for the info. I knew the head was 19mm but didn't realise how wide the thread was... Im used to fords with narrow threads. I picked up a sump plug the same size as falcons thinking they would be the same size... Boy was I wrong lol.
