You can easily get the correct bung from a main dealer for a few quid. Iirc it's the same size as main gallery bung/plug at M18x1.25..?

Maybe a generous SN member who's recently fitted an oil temp gauge into the gallery above cyl #3 still has the bung knocking around for the cost of a stamp and beer..?
