Unhappy Please help: Sourcing a coolant-bleeder screw.

Car 1987 TII.

Issue: My radiator/coolant air-bleeder basically fell apart in my hand. 21 year old heavily thermocycled plastic, I'm not surprised it was brittle.

Now, where can I go to try and get another one without getting a radiator to boot? I know of Honda and Nissan parts dealers who have good diagrams to find specific parts. I don;t know of equivalents for mazda's yet. blackdragonauto was nice, but no luck there.

This looks like such a minor part, would a dealer carry it or be able to order it? Maybe it's a common part on other mazda radiatots. Perhaps I can get some type of plug and cap it off.

I believe it's here:

Wasn't sure if you meant just the screw or not. The screw itself is at the very bottom.

Most auto parts stores have a selection of these screws. The ones around here that fit are made by the "HELP!" brand.

I checked my local autozone first. They did not have one.
