Buy one? Should be less than $10 for the OE part from the dealer.

Got it brand spanking new, with the washer for US$2.17 at the dealer.

It made everything look bad, since it was freshly zinc plated

In a pinch, use an 8x 1.0 bolt.

thats what im using now, but the system has air in it, and i jacked up the car, and just had the bolt loose until it seemed like just fluid and no bubbles, but the car will still want to heat up after driving as soon as i come to a stop and let it idle. temps are fine when going down the road, and car was fine until i broke the screw and it sucked in air

Stock bolt is hollow and has a hole through it right below the hex head. Perfect for bleeding the coolant.
