Supercharger drain plug replacement?

I have done a lot of searching with no solid answers. Does anyone know where I can find a new supercharger drain plug? Or what I should be searching for? I lost mine today.

Here's a start:

British Standard Pipe Thread uses the Whitworth standard per Wikipedia (scroll to "Current Usage"):

Here are a couple of them on Amazon:

bbirdwell, I really appreciate your help.

I called Seawaybolt this morning. They will not sell to me directly. They gave me the part number for fastenall. I called the 2 Fastenall locations in the country that she said had them. Both locations said that they have no idea what I was talking about and the part number dos not exist.


I did order a few on amazon. I am hoping that will do.

Look for offshore sites. British pipe thread is reasonably common everywhere except the US as you guys have NPT.

Well, I am hoping the parts from Amazon are correct. As expected, the parts from MB were not correct.
