radiator drain plug problem?

[sxyvet]

hi there guys,
i have a standard radiator in my 1991, 6 speed vette, any how i have a problem where the drain plug screws into the bottom of radiator is now stuffed!
the plastic piece that the plug screws into is broken.
i have managed to pull out the broken thread piece with pliers though!
what can i do now?
where can i buy another drain plug insert where the plug screws in to?
can you buy them new still?
can you recomend any place that sells them or second hand wreckers may be?
may be i could just polyurene the outer plug back in , but then when i want to drain out the coolent completly it will be hard!
any comments welcome and appreciated!
thanks guys for your help and time.
cheers

When I bought mine it was called a radiator Petcock. Picked it up for about 5 bucks at part source.
