Default oxygen sensor cap?

i have a 95 honda civic 1.5L LX

I just replaced my exhaust.my new exhaust is made by Spec-R. ( for 92-95 civics)

My problem is my oxygen sensor cap fell off about 3 weeks ago. i havnt been able to find a replacement OR a thread size to just slap a bolt in it. as a quick fix i got some jb weld and a quarter( yes .25 cents) and jb welded it over the hole.. it fit perfect but JB will not hold it on. i need it fixed asap and i rather not have to take the exhaust apart to have it welded if i can help it

i have seen one person on the internet that said the thread size will be a 18mm but it was the stock exhaust. wouldn't they be the same size?

Use a spark plug should be m18 x 1.5 i believe its for lawn motors.

Also running th car without the o2 sensor isnt good. kills mpg and dumps to much fuel.

I don't think he's running without an O2. Possibly he has a second O2 bung and that is where the problem is.
