[DFW] HELP! Need Koyo radiator drain plug..

Hi everyone,

Yesterday the drain plug on my Koyo developed a slight leak. I crawled under the car to try tightening the plug, but when I started torquing it, the plug completely snapped.

Now I'm without a drain plug for my radiator. Does anyone have one I could buy, or have any idea where I can get a replacement?

Much appreciated!

Mine broke like the second time I messed with it, the OEM plastic plugs from the original rad will work (at least it will with the FC). I cut down a bolt that had the same thread pitch and put a little Oring on it, works just fine. I did this for the bleeder valve also which broke very quickly.

I actually might have an extra one of these haha. Call me or find someone with an empty rad and figure out the thread size. Then find the correct nut side for it and then wrap it up with some teflon tape.
