It was still in the bung when I removed it but the magnet fell out when I placed the bung on a paper towel. Looking back through receipts to find out where I bought it from.I know I did not get it of ebay or that it is a cheap copy.Shit - that's not good. Where was the magnet? It could easily have attached to something rotating in there.
Have you notified the supplier or manufacturer?
Is this the right angle??Can you post a picture of the head of the drain plug
That settles it then, as I'm definitely checking it when I get home. I'll get myself some high strength, permanent fit Loctite (the gap filling type) and see how that goes. Mind you, I may be asking for a response back from TPO and their suppliers in regards to a poorly assembled product.I have the TPO bolt and the magnet is a little loose.
I bought one similar from TPO Parts. Must check it when I'm back from working overseas.
In the site photo it looks like a resin compund (I can see an air bubble in the compound) and not plastic is securing the magnet in place?
