Jim, first order a proper new one from any supplier.(Moss or Abingdon
Spares or M&G Vintage) you don't want to put back the old. Then go to Sears
and get the biggest mother vice grip they have. Lock it on tight and have a
piece of pipe to use as an extension for leverage. I've been there. Don't
over tighten the new plug. Good luck

Mike
