So I was browsing the net looking for metric Jic/Jis plugs and i found these I'm gonna order a set and try them out unless someone has already used them let me know if you all think these will work. I have already tried the oil drain plugs witch will work if i cut them down but i think these will work even better. komatsu 30 deg plug

I used oil drain plugs with brass washers and I had no issues. They don't need to be cut down.

No reason they need that seat surface, since that is not how the original lines seal. Also, JIC is 37*, not 30*, so they are not really JIC.

The originals use an oring seat (if you are removing the hardlines from the rack, as that is what I am picturing).

I also used two oil drain plugs, wrapped them with teflon tape, and they worked great. I did use Mitsu ones, though, not ones from the parts store that have a huge head on them.

that could be the issue im having i used just generic ones from the parts store and they have a huge head and a very long thread on them so they dont even seat against the copper washers
