Aluminium Radiator Drain Plug Size?

[ANDYGON 6]

Sorry if it's in the wrong section I'm on my phone.

Fitted my new rad ordered off eBay all good did a quick flush as the water was proper manky but I've dropped the drain plug down the drain and can't get it out.

The old style one doesn't fit and I've rang the company an they only do them as a whole unit.

Currently sat waterless and thinking of having to buy a whole new rad again.

Any suggestions?

Might ride to a scrappy tomorrow

 

Cheers

Andy.

have a rummage in your spare nuts and bolts for something that matches the thread, probably M6 or M8 going on the ones I've seen on aftermarket rads previously, should wind in by hand.
