It was from a 92-96 prelude radiator (R1979) and the plastic bolt is broken. I need a replacement..

Haha. Sorry. Where can I get one? I don't want to put gasket maker around it. If I know about pitch and all that I could just put any bolt in there, I just don't know it. Does anybody know the specs?

The OEM plug doesn't fit. I already tried that. Thanks though. Does Koyo make OEM radiator? I didn't know. It's the aftermarket, big, shiny thing. It's pointless but I have it anyways.

Oh sorry I forgot you said Koyo. Nope Denso makes the OEM radiator, at least that one.
Did you destroy the bolt so much you can't tell the size/pitch?

I don't know where to get a hold of Koyo from. I'm not sure whether certain sites are dealers or what. I imagine I can get a hold of them that way. I don't know how to measure pitch/size. I was just hoping someone could give me the numbers and I could search for that size bolt.

You could take the remaining portion of the bolt to a hardware store and match it? You will probably need a seal or O-ring of some sort.

They said I should just go through a distributor... so I'm going to try any of them and give you guys an update so someone else might know what to do in this situation.

I'm not sure when it broke. I had it in the garage and it must have fallen over or something. I sent a couple of emails... no response yet.
