A couple years ago I bought a regular CSF OEM replacement radiator. I was tightening the drain plug in it yesterday and the damn grip broke off from the threads.. leaving the threaded piece in my radiator. I finally got that out, but know I can't figure out what kind of drain plug to buy, the OEM one does not fit. Anyone else had this problem?

I think the CSF's are US made... so its probably a NPT plug (pipe thread)

Run down to the local hardware store and see if any of the plugs fit.

yes its might be npt thread. go to home depot and buy a brass plug. they are in the plumbing dept. i guess its worth a shot

Thanks for the help guys.

I went to every parts store in town and no one has it. Its a M10X1.5 thread. i'm going to try home depot next. A brass bolt will work?

Brass would be best as it won't bond to the aluminum... try your auto-parts store as well.... If you can't find brass a regular bolt will work.... just be sure to coat the threads with anti-seize compound to insure that you are able to get that thing back out

check a local radiator shop. i broke mine off and went over to the one we use for work. he had a box full of the things! take the piece you took out of the radiator w/ you, so you can match the threads.
