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

There is also an adjustable cover:

not fond of them.

If not that, try this:

scroll down to the orange test plugs.
Big Box will have something at least similar that works.

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....
