HELP cooling system bleed screw

[copilot]

I've just lost the cooling system bleed screw from the top of the cooling system, the one just below the airbox and I'll be buggered if I can find it. It is the one with the floating wing nut attached. Is it a standard part? I have just fitted the radiator and was desperate for drive...can anyone assist??

FWIW, I've seen something similar on a tractor I was fixing the air-con on in the past.

It can't be that rare, or hard to get.

You can get a new one from TVR Power. I got new ones from them last month, cant remember the price £10 - £15 or something around that, had them the nex day.

You were correct. My neighbour is a farmer and he showed me one on his fordson major irrigation pump! It's a standard BSP drain off fitting. So managed to pick one up at the local farmers supermarket! I have also found out that early MG's and Triumphs also had them on the bottom of the radiators as a drain off point.
Thanks again.
