Can i use a Type 1 threaded plugs kit based for a type 1 on a WBX or are the sizes different?

The sizes are what ever you drill.

That doesn't seem like a bad start, steel plugs and all. But what I observe is that you may need two 3/8 taps to make a couple of the holes (a shallow tap doesn't require a deeply drilled hole).

Now the big question is what style taps are available to you? NPT (national pipe thread) or BSP (British Standard)

yes.
Was thinking of maybe they had different size's on the galleys , so a type 1 kit would not cover an WBX engine.
As there is 3 different sizes there.

Hi,
I have used threaded brass plugs in serveral engines and they works fine.
Fastback, I have 1/8", 1/4", 3/8" brass plugs and can sell you the numbers and the sizes you want. I'm from Denmark.
