Pepcock for Radiator?

Post by jimmycakes401 »

Turns out my car does not have a pepcock in its radiator. Looked online for a new one, but only find a full radiator kit. What can I use for this? Some sort of brass hex head bolt? Suggestions would be excellent. Thanks guys.

Factory equipment is a small brass plug if the hole is there

Is that something I can order separate? Or should i go hunting for something similar? I don't want to drop the money on a whole new radiator if I don't have to. Thanks for the input.

If the hole is there, I assume it is? Someone could probably just mail you a spare, you should post in wanted

Is it missing the plug or you would prefer to have a petcock?

I don't know what it's supposed to have. I'll take anything that keeps the fluid from running out. LOL
