Default Carb parts help...

Morning All;
I had to have the drain plug (steel) drilled out of my MS carb and retapped, as it was seized. The 1/4" brass replacement from Spruce is a bit sloppy so I need an oversize.... any idea where to find one?
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Try: http://www.avstardirect.com

They have all parts needed for MS carbs including all the specially shaped lock washers. They also rebuilt my MA3PA carb and did an outstanding job. Follow the links on their site to individual parts.

Default plug

Spoke to Avstar yesterday... apparently no such thing as an oversize plug. Suggested using a Helicoil. Interesting idea.
