Default Broken radiator drain plug

I recently changed the coolant in my car and this morning i went out to my garage and seen a little puddle coming from the drain plug. I went to tighten it up a little and the screw broke in half. I managed to turn out the other half with a small pick but now i need a new one. My question is whats the thread on this plug? I think im going to try to either replace it with a metal plug or a petcock. I need to know the thread so i can call a few auto stores.

If you replace it with a metal one, make sure you use a rubber gasket between the two or the plug will freeze up in the hole and you'll need a new radiator.

I think stock is M10x1mm but mine was M10x1.5 check the threads. I had a hell of a time trying to find a replacement. BTW the M10x1.5 is from a Ford (WTF?) application.
