Whilst trying to sort out the replacement of my air con condenser, I've managed to break off the vent plug from my standard radiator (plastic ends with TVR embossed into the plastic). Does anyone know where I can get a new vent plug from? I've looked at Parts for TVRs, Powers Performance and RaceTech but can see anything listed. Is it likely that a local radiator motor factors might have something perhaps?

I need one of these or something else suitable:


It seems to be a 3/8" UNC or BSW thread size so maybe a 3/8 UNC bolt with a fibre washer might do it? I don't know how thick the plastic is on the radiator body but I could always drill it out and re-tap to an M10 or M12 as I have plenty of those bolts.
