[Roadsters] Drain Plug for 1970 Radiator

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Peter,

Try a plumbing supply store.  I put a 90 degree velve with a 1/8 NPT thread 
into the opening which formerly contained the nylon plug on the radiator in 
my '66 1600/U20.  (The motor and radiator are '69.)  Don't recall whether I 
re-tapped the drain hole or not, but it works fine.
