Lambda "bung"/bolt
I am after a bolt to block the lambda sensor hole in an exhaust. I have checked with the digital calipers and it looks like it is an 18mm Thread.
Anyone got one lying around ??

The quick get the job done fix is screw in a Pinto spark plug.

any car engine spark plug will do. They have them on ebay, i'm tempted with the one that has an internal hex (allan key) so that its IVA ok
instead of the standard bolt based ones.

I made my own
Old sparkplug cut it down and weld in a button headed bolt I had cost nowt and looks good.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Not any plug it has to be an 18mm plug and the only 18mm plug you are lilely to find easily is from a Pinto.

if it's m18x1.5, you could also use a transit drag link......if you were really stuck
most spark plugs are 14mm, not 18, but as has been said, pinto plugs will do it
