Angry Anyone in Vancouver got a radiator drain plug...?

I just finished replacing most of my cooling hoses after I blew a heater hose at the DE last weekend. Last thing to do before refilling the rad was to put in the stupid *@#!!@! plastic drain plug, and of course it snapped off. Does anyone have an extra I can buy/beg/borrow/steal? I was planning on doing the PCA driving tour tomorrow, but as of right now it looks like I am out of luck.

Or just hit up your local auto parts store for a bolt and rubber or nylon sealing washer. Gotta be real careful not to strip the radiator threads, but it'll work.

Yeah, Sam, I went your route. M10x16 bolt with three wraps of teflon tape on the threads and tightened CAREFULLY! Seems to work. Got to go touring now!
