Hey Gravel Maker, is the drain plug in the diff cover 1/8" pipe?

No.......
But it is machined to receive a 3/4" tapered pipe plug, the allen head variety.

Is that different from normal pipe fittings? It is a lot smaller than 3/4".

I'm not quite sure how you mean......
But the fill plugs are 3/4" diameter tapered pipe plugs, they are the ones with the 9/16' Allen socket.

Oh, Ok. I think there was a mis-communication. I am asking about the drain plug in your 14BFF diff cover that just arrived - not the fill plug in the housing. I was going to run out and buy a plug, but wanted to double check the size. Looks like 1/8" pipe to my untrained eye.

Aha!
the Drain plugs weren't in the box? Damm.....
Email me your name and I will send you a few, they should have been in the box. BTW, they are Stainless button head allen bolts, 5/16" with bonded washers (1/16" rubber bonded to an aluminum washer).

Great - thanks. Email sent. Glad I didn't pick up any 1/8" pipe plugs!
Here are my Ruff Stuff parts are painted up perdy and installed. Thanks Gravel Maker!

But I like the silver & black!

Hmm, didn't think about the Raiders connection. I grew up a Niners fan. Might have to go buy some maroon and gold paint.

I'm sorry. 
Finally got the discs installed. I used calipers for an '85 K20 front so I can use my 10mm banjo bolt lines from my parts truck. I'll have to grind a little off the top of the caliper to clear the wheel and I had to grind a hair off the insides of the bracket to get it all to go together (details in my blog), but it has turned out pretty slick. Can't wait to get the trans in so I can see how well it stops. Thanks Gravel Maker! 
Compared to the old drum backing plate in the background.
Looks cool from the back too (I wish that bike wasn't in the shot

I think some people still use spacers?
We haven't for 2 years! And the trend is catching on, they are actually less expensive to make without spacers! Over 2500 pairs in use!
