Default ? for Canton oil pan users

I've recently bought road racing oil pan for my Corvette.
It is part nr. 15-240T. However, I have one problem.
Pan came without one of the plugs (please
look at the picture). Does anybody know what size thread is
in that hole?

It's been too long since I put mine on but I think it was 1/2 inch pipe thread.

It's 20mm used for the factory oil level sender unless you chose to delete the sender and plug it.

It's larger than 1/2". It could be 20mm, but it's strange that it's metric size. I'll buy 20mm plug and try with that.

Was oil level sensor optional, or only on later years, because mine never had it?

Thank you! I've just bought 20mm plug and it fits. You never know
with US cars, some threads are metric and some imperial

Lucky for me it's metric, otherwise I would have to order it or have it
custom made!

Thanks again!

BTW, I've also sent an email to "Canton racing products" when I posted
this, and they also anwsered promptly.
