Default Tread size of air pump plugs

I saw a post once and it said the dimensions of the threads in the heads where the air pump lines go into the exhaust on a SC. One poster suggested a Mercedes part that fits perfectly.
Thanks in advance
Darrin.

M10 thread pitch of 1.0mm

I bought the bolts and cut them down a little, don't forget the crush washer.

Yes there is a Mercedes part that fits.

Similar to ice's job but the head of the plug is very thin and the whole thing is plated silver color.

I believe there is also a 914 caliper plug bolt that you can use for this. Search Pelican Parts for #PEL-BRC-02. It is a bit pricey @ $2.95 ea., but comes with the copper crush washer. It's pretty difficult to find the 10mm x 1.0 cap screws in the short length you need for this application (if you don't want to cut them), but I did find them once at Maryland Metric, I think, and it was a bit cheaper but not much, as they had a minimum order size.
