Blitz oil drain pan cap ?

[fenixus]

just a quick question to people using those handy seal-able oil drain pans.

they are great, just one problem, the cap on right (in pic) tends to break apart if you tighten it too much once or twice.

have anyone ever found a matching cap from anything else ?

i tried some gallons bottle caps and things, but nothing matches the thread or diameter... for now i'm putting a plastic bag under the cap to seal it and keep dirty oil from spilling in my trunk while delivering it to waste tank in closest autozone ...

What is the diameter of the cap?
In my business, I use a multitude of large, different size screw on caps.

just measure the opening (OD) of the neck and my metric ruler reads 34.5mm (~ 1.35826in)
sorry i'm no familiar with reading the inches and thingies off the ruler, slowly learning those hehe

also the thread is big, counted only 2 threads if you know what i mean ...

Oh? Are you talking about the cap on the top or the side?

on the side of course
neck's OD measurement above (doesn't include thread thickness), i converted my measurement in milimeters into inches for you.
i was unable to measure the cap as it is no longer round...

OK.My bad. It does say side.. duh!
Let me check some caps out at work. If I find one that seems like it'll fit, I'll send them to you.
