Hi, I had to remove the cover of my 1920s lead drumtrap buy cutting it out with a dremel. I now need a replacement.The old one was brass 3 3/4 inch with fine threads. I can only find coarse thread . The idiots at the box stores and plumbing supply don't have a clue. I need some sugggestions. Thanks Jay

I don't think you are going to find one with threads. Why don't you just use a lead plug and hammer it in lightly?

better yet replace the drum trap with a standard P trap.

unlike the obsolete drum trap it can be snaked if it clogs....
