I have a 2&1/16 inch hole already drilled in my bumper is this hole to big for this plug? Previous owner drilled hole

I sold the truck that had this on it but I think 2&1/16" is probably too big of a hole.

I just went to my shop and checked my hole saw kit. The last hole saw I used was 1-7/8" and still has black plastic shavings on some of the teeth. The last job I did was the hole for the this plug.

Since you already have the hole and don't want to drill another, you could find or manufacture 2 sheet metal washers (yes they would be big) and the same size thick rubber to seal. Would not recommend this if you are using on a boat but for a truck operation it should not be an issue

I didn't flush mount mine. I did a surface mount so I'm not sure of the hole size

I bought this plug for my BMW 525i E39 and it DID NOT FIT! It was too big for the hole. You did not mention what car you have so I can't give any advice.

It looks like you need 1 3/8" true clearance to plug this in. If you have 2", you shouldn't have any problems plugging it in.

Larry I want to make sure I give you the measurement that your are asking about. I measured from the edge of the extension that would insert into the receiver on the vehicle and it is 1 inch to the center of the first hole and 3.5 inches to center of the second hole. Let me know if this is not the measurement you need.

I can't give you an exact number, but usual road punctures, like small nails and screws will be fine. The bore tool is 3/16 inch in diameter. So anything 3/16" and smaller will absolutely be fine. I'm going to guess that the larger the hole, the more temporary the seal. I will say that there isn't enough plug material to fill a 1/2" hole. 1/4" will probably fill, maybe even 5/16". Anything bigger and I doubt the plug will actually be able to fill the hole. Now let me add to this. There is a difference between an actual 1/2" hole vs a 1/2" nail that's punctured the tire. A 1/2" inch nail won't create a 1/2" hole because the rubber will expand to accommodate the nail. The actual hole may be much smaller. So it appears that a 1/2" screw will create a hole smaller than 3/16".

This will have both pre and post cat O2 bungs so you will need a plug local auto part stores sell the plugs (same plugs as oil pans) believe its 16mm. The heat shield will have to be removed and you will need to elongate holes to make it fit but do it! Make sure you USE a heat shield.

Hi Virginia, I am afraid you have to drill two 1/4 " holes as It calls for in the instructions. Regards, Guenter

How thick of material can it fit into? Looking to make a 2x6 rear bumper that's about 1/8 or so thick.

Mine fit snug without a problem. Maybe you can try to put tape around the part that goes in the hole so it can fit tighter.

31/64th is the drill size....I would be more inclined to advise you to seek what is refered to as an Oversize, or OO Double Oversize drain plug at an auto parts store.....if this is an alloy pan, then go to the next time sert size, perhaps standard rather than Metric, but you may run out of backup material behind the stripped area to support and get proper tapping of the major Diameter of the insert, and that will be ugly.Hillbilly Greg

Just received one today and measured the diameter. It will fit in a 9/16" hole.

I never had to drill. my stock had removable plug I'm guessing 3/16. To match bit get one the size matching the core of screw not including the thickness of threads. Better to get smaller hole than the because threads will fit tight. If you were to drill larger than needed place a tooth pick with wood glue only on tooth pick. then screw the take a screw in place removing any excess glue.

its more L shaped than it is straight. Its more of a 130 degree angle plug. Hope that helps.

The instructions say to drill a 1 1/8 Inch hole, I didn't have a 1 1/8 Inch bit so I drilled a 1 Inch hole. It was a little tight but it fits. The piece is threaded so if the material is soft, mine was fiberglass, you can screw it in.

If your referring to my review, that it didn't fit, i should add, my 84 truck license place in the back is conjoint with the rear bumper, the reason it didn't fit was cause of the bottom skulls are 3d raised emblem so the plate would not squeeze in between my bumper being connected with the place where my license goes.. the holes had no issue i think they are all one size fits all.. but if you still need me to mesure it for you, let me know, just never check my mail, so it's 12am and surely too lazy to go check now..

I ordered 4 for my Smittybilt bumpers. Which I believe is a 7/8" hole. It was a tight fit and I had to sand the powdercoat off the pin to make it go in. Looks great now that its in.
