I assume by the way that the hose has deeper threads and just replacing with a new hose may be an option.
The list of suppliers for the bottoming tap is included in the TSB BTW.

The first thing I tried was to find a deeper bolt to fit. No place around here has that big in M sizes. Thinking about taking the plug to a machine shop and seeing if they can build me a steel bolt that's a little deeper.
