Title: Aprilia 1500 sump plug
Post by: John Larkin on 10 August, 2023, 06:02:24 PM
Can anybody tell me what type of tool I need to undo the sump drain plug on a 1949 Aprilia berlina 1500?  I cannot get under the car to see properly, but it seems to be a large Allen key type.

So 1500 sump plugs are a lot bigger than 1350?

The previous owner had a tool for this job.  I found it among the spares he gave me.

Augusta is the sams.
I filed the outside of a box spanner to fit. Works perfectly.
