The drain plug has a small collar inside to support the magnet radially.
I'm getting on the computer later and show you the change in the model

Derick,
i will make sure to get you a "cut down to the max" one to make it fit with the adapter.

Well maybe it's not that bad. I pulled the plug on a dry motor and looked inside. The threads are not an issue. The magnet is bottoming against the plastic pick up tube inside. So you can force the bolt in and lock it down however the magnetic surface will be buried against the plastic and there may be some deflection of the PU tube.

not sure why i thought we'd need that thread length.
on the other bolts i went ahead and bought them to measure stock dimensions and look what needed to be altered.
on the oil plug i relied on some info that a M14 with 16 mm length should be correct, plus i made the mistake of making it 18 mm.
the fact that the stock one and the dimple plug are way shorter baffles me. i should have figured that out just by looking at the kraaitech adapter.

i'm good with your strategy, Phil, and also agree that racers should be attended to first!

Measured the available space in the pan tonight. From where the washer or bolt flange touches to the inside it's 21-22 mm.
That means enough clearance to the magnet.
I was also able to almost completely turn in a bolt, so with the added benefit of more interlocking threads compared to stock, the 14 mm thread length will work.
Will keep you updated and also notify you when the first ones get shipped

Didn't make it to the company, likely won't either tomorrow...
Cut 3 mm off the bolt with hacksaw and filed / deburred it. Fits in pan with magnet. Waiting for full emptying of the pan- drained it Saturday, had the bolt in and opened it again tonight, had an ounce (30ml) still spill out... did not expect that!!!
Mounted pic tomorrow.

Confused. Cutting the plug (threads)wouldn't shorten the overall length unless you machined the magnet slot deeper yes? When I installed this in one of the spare motors I put a dab of oil on the end of the magnet and inserted it into the pan. When I felt the plug bottom out which was before seated engagement of the crush washer, I removed it and looked in the pan with a pen light. There was a spot of oil on the plastic pickup tube indicating that the magnet had bottomed on the tube. You could probable force it a few mm to seat it but then the bulk of your magnet is butted against the plastic and not picking up any debris. Or am I missing something that your doing?
