disregard... misread.. was thinking about the big oil banjo bolt on the bottom of the rear housing.

Bought something bigger, cut it down... filed the threads into a taper at the tip and played with it carefully so it didnt cross thread. Thats what I did with our first attempt at a block, when we put an aluminum adapter on the oil pump pad for oil return and PSRU feed.

Later gen used the stock oil return fitting with an AN adapter on it.

Kelly, 
 
Short story is that this is the tap size I had handy that fit the hole.  We're trying to plug the heater port on the rear housing.  Who would have thought that an 18mm x 2.0 would be an oddball size!  We found a place that sells 18mm x 2.0 nuts, but they tell us that nobody makes an 18 x 2.0 bolt.  That seems hard to believe.

You will have a hard time for that. M18 x 2.5 is standard and first choice fine is 18 x 1.5 . You may have to get it made.
