Radiator Drain C0CK! NOT the right one

[HAZ0R]

Okay, I am at work so pix aval. I drained the radiator and when I touched the drain #### the thing snap off. I got the end out and all but, the replacement part should be 61125 for my car. 1997 Mit. Eclipse RS. Does not fit it. The drain #### is about 1 1/2 inches long. Has thread at the end then a long open slit in the middle then thread at the bottom of the drain ####. All the part stores have no clue what one it is. Anyone able to help?

Your local parts store will have them. The type shouldn't much matter, take your broken one in to match threads. They get hard and weak with age, like other c0cks. If you get the brass one, pick up some Permatex #2 to use on the threads. Home Depot will probably have one that fits, in the refrigeration fittings area.

Pity the jive-assed censor settings on the board won't allow the term.

They're also available in the HELP! sections of many autoparts stores.

Thanks for the help but, figured out the problem. The owner before me somehow installed a Subbie Radiator into my car. The drain plug part number was 61114.
