Hi John. from the Accessory catalogue..................................................................................................90045 MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG (12/99 - 12/00 ENGINE ONLY) 24mm Hex...............
90026 MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG (From Jan 2001 ENGINE ONLY) 18mm hex...............
90025 MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG (FOR GEARBOX UP TO 2002) 18mm Hex.................
90046 MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG (GEARBOXES AFTER 2002) 15.2mm Hex.................
90047 MAGNETIC DRAIN PLUG (5 speed GEARBOXES)
...................................So it seems your plugs are 18mm (metric)....the threads most likely to be 1.5mm...this can be measured.

I had a 2002 500 (2001 engine Numbers) and the Plug was Imperial, I Just Think around this 98 to 02 Period they might of used up some Older / Pre Tapped Components...
So Just Be carefull! and finger Tight test em First..Good Luck!
