hey all
greg (happy) undid my bottom radiator plug, but it seems to have rolled into the bumper/cross-member area and i can't seem to find it! 
question is, can i buy just the plug from any auto store? are they all (within reason) the same size/thread?
cheers!

You can get a valve tp screw into where the plug used to be, so when you go to change oil you just release a valve instead of unscrewing a plug, I keep meaning to buy one. Good excuse to upgrade to one!
Will try and find a link for it..

ugh thought it was sump plug for some reason. $50 strikes me as pretty steep for a little thing like that valve anyway.
