There is one on the tidy tip in Luton.... I bunged my old rad out earlier today!. If I still had it you could of had it with pleasure. Need to pay another visit tomorrow to the tip. If its still there and I can get it without breaking my neck I will fish it out of the scrap metal skip for you.

Hi George


Sorry its gone so I can't retrieve it for you. From memory the std rad had a plastic bolt style bleed point rather than a flush plug type found on the ally rads.

If you can match the thread pitch any bolt should do the job just make sure the rubber o-ring is swapped/replaced so it seals nice and snug.

Hey Shep thanks for trying really appreciate it.
I,m of work for the next few days so I'll see what I can find, and your right it was a plastic type bolt (i left it next to the sink and the Mrs binned it)my own fault as I should have put it back on the car but I found it in my pocket and promised to put it back on the radiator,... A week later my wife thought it was junk and binned it!!!
