Mike, have you taken the drain plug to a plumbing supply store and asked them
if they can match it? This is, of course, assuming you have the old plug,
rather than a rag stuffed in the pan to keep the oil in. Most of those supply
places are marvels at knowing what size you need on sight. You might not want
to tell them exactly what you need the plug for, though.
