Radiator Drain Plug

Hey guys, I went out and switched the old rusty radiator out of my 79 300d and as I began to fill it up I noticed the drain plug was missing. Probably something I should have checked beforehand

Anyways anyone have an idea for a temporary fix. I need to car running tommorow so a quick run to the parts store in my parents van will have to do. Does anyone know the proper diameter of the plug? Next time I'll be sure to check these kind of things first

My spare 300Dturbo and 240D radiators have what looks like a 10mmx1.5mm plug.

They didn't have it at the parts store so I went to the stealership just down the street. $9.55 for a plastic plug

I didn't have much of a choice.
