A trip to the local auto parts store turned up two nice 8mmx1.25 plated bolts with the integral washer heads. These recess actually allowed the machinist to 'locate' center, drill and start the tap square using the spindle of the milling machine. Yes, as it stands right now for the X300 to do the oil change I would need to pull the drive belt, belt pulley and fan to access the fill plug, probably better for me to just drop the unit every 50-100hrs until I mount a filler tube or reservoir tank.įrom this thread I was able to find the reference to the 8mmx1.25 and conveniently enough there were two recess molded on the inside of the cover that indicated the factory points for the location of the drain plugs. Looking a bit more closely last night you are correct, there is not a mounting bolt point on the K46 for the tab on the X360 tank so it might be the better way to go to adapt another tank.
