HELP, snapped radiator plug

[will2002tii]

I went to flush the radiator today and snapped the blue plastic drain screw on removal. It drilled out easily, but where do I find a new one Quick? Dealer would have to order it, and no one carries anything like it. Until I can find one I have no car. Any Suggestions? Thanks

If the threads are std Metric, you could get a bolt that fits at a hardware shop. I snapped my bleeder plastic bolt, but it was std M10 threads so i used a M10 bolt meanwhile.

that is a great idea espen......it should be metic since its probably a behr radiator which is german made...which in turn would mean its metric.....go to home depot or doit center. I always get my o rings there. Instead of paying 2-3 bucks.....30 cents!
