exhaust bung for air jacks

I need an exhaust bung and I have a choice between £25 on the nodosh version now sold by GN Vehicle Protection, or a 3 inch drain test plug for a fiver. Has anyone tried the latter and is there a real difference?

If you can get a double-bung test plug for a fiver, do it! You'll still need to put an extended collar on the wing nut though.

think they're 2"though. haven't got one near me to check at the moment

I measured 3 inches but maybe it's wider at the end...?
single bung only here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bailey-1963-Drain-...1381223416
Is a double bung needed for the pressure?

You may struggle to get a 3" bung in far enough to tighten it. Single bungs tend to fly out at a rate of knots, denting knees and garage doors alike. I'll check the size use and get back to you

hmmm, just noticed you have a V8. Definitely a 50mm double on the tdv6, horobin part number 76022.

Just checked and I supplied these to a number of people with V8s with no problems. you try a 65mm plug (76032) but I suspect it may be difficult to get it far enough around the bend in the last couple of inches of tailpipe to get an effective seal.

here's what I mean about the bend in the pipe



you may find the 65mm gives you a better fit, but I'd check the diameter in both vertical and horizontal at the bend first.
