Nissens Radiator Drain Plug - o-ring replacement? 900 1994

Does anyone know where to get replacement rubber o-rings/seals for the drain cock on the Nissens radiators?

I drained the coolant for the headgasket repair, upon coolant refill the rubber gasket must have been off center when I tightened the plug. This resulted in a torn gasket. Was able to find a drain plug at Pepboys, the plug didn't fit but the gasket on it was almost the right fit, enough so that the radiator didn't leak.

I want to replace the gasket with the proper one since I see a slight leak there, it's holding coolant but am afraid I'm on borrowed time.

Thanks,
Bean

    Dear Bean,

    Good p.m. and may this find you well. Try Nick Bauer at www.fcpgroton.com. I believe they sell Nissens radiators. Even if Nick doesn't have the part, he'll likely know where to get it, or be able to vector you towards a source.

    Hope this helps.

    Yours faithfully,

    spook

      Was thinking about calling Nick. Actually I called Missens directly in NJ and left a message with the admin. The technical guy was supposed to call me in "10 or 15 minutes" but you know how that goes at 1:00pm on a Friday afternoon. Will be calling this person back first thing in the morning on Monday.

      Thanks for the reply spook.
