Hey Guys,
I'm just wondering where to find the above.
I'm in Melbourne east.
I tried the local place(Bayswater Nuts & Bolts), but they don't have it.(Bunnings is out of question)
I'm looking for a shop front in Melbourne where I can buy a one.
It is available online, but I can't wait.
Thanx in advance for any help.

AB Bolts in Thomastown might have them. But they will be pricey. They are theives there... I'd try the smaller more local bolt shops.

Dom,
try the bolt shop in Burwood Hwy ferntree gully. They are between the Ford dealership and McDonalds, next door to Autobarn. Between Scoresby Rd and where Ferntree gully rd intersects Burwood hwy.

Pricey bolt, some on ebay for circa $18 - 23 each. How long do you need, might have one here?

Thanx Phil. Sounds like pretty close to your joint. You got any beer in the garage? ;)

1cm-1.5cm should be enough for me.
Ebay ones are stainless steel, which is ideal for my application(exhaust O2 bung), but can't wait.
If you've gota one to spare, let me know.
Cheers

Just to temporarily block the O2 sensor bung mate.
I prefer stainless steel, but normal steel is ok.
I reckon I can paste some graphite powder on the threads & that might work as an anti-seize with some luck.
Thanx

Guys at Bayswater Nuts and Bolts are pretty good with price.
I just remembered. Last time, I found a bolt at Pirtek(Bayswater) that I wasn't able to find at Bayswater Nuts & Bolts
(To block the EGR bung on the exhaust).
I've been obviously bit retarded lately, 'cos Pirtek is right next door to Bayswater Nuts & Bolts, and it didn't cross my
mind to drop in and ask. :icon_bonk:

Pretty sure Ferntree Gully bolts (on Burwood hwy) and Bayswater bolts are owned by the same mob, so hopefully they'd be able to cross check to see if the other store had anything for you

Pretty sure 18mm 1.5 is same same as older Hilux sump plug! Only short but correct thread. Try local wreckers or local spare parts shop. Should be readily available!

Was thinking its about the size of a sump/gearbox or diff plug.

you can buy o2 sensor bungs..any decent exhaust joint should have one or just grad a stuffed old sensor from the wreckers to plug the hole

Thanx mate.
Pirtek had it for ten bucks or so, but decided to pick a stuffed O2 sensor from an exhaust joint or wreckers, as you advised. :)
I was purposely complicating a scenario with a simple solution. :)
It's either I'm experiencing earlier signs of old age dementia or I've been suffering brain fog from calorie controlled diet. ;) :D

Yeah, but bit hard to find them these days, I reckon. Most vehicles use 14mm.
