One freakin' 30mm freeze plug

[RotorNutFD3S]

That's right. I need ONE 30mm freeze plug. Seems the parts stores locally don't have them, I don't have the time to go anywhere on the north side of town right now, and anywhere online wants to sell me 10 or more of them. I just want one... :cry:

:lol: Anyway, if you have one, please let me know!

[Sawyer]

If nobody has one, I'm already in Atlanta if you want me to go pick one up on the north side for you?

[metalman]

If you get 10 then you'll have enough for the next 6 or 7 motors you build. :lol:

I took mine out and welded plates over the holes.

Thanks for the offer, but I haven't even been able to contact any companies to find out where they're carried.

You're not funny... Well, maybe a little bit, but I'm hoping that this is the last motor I build for this car for a long, long, long time.

No welding equipment unfortunately. And a freeze plug is a much simpler and cleaner approach IMO. Not to mention, easier to reverse too.

Welding a freeze plug?? Wtf???

Buy a new plug from mazda or whatever. Cant be more than 20 bucks

If I had one...I'd trade you your turbo setup for it. Too bad you live on the other side of 285 from me, I would of gone a picked one up and delivered it just to make sure you get that thing running.

I don't understand...every local parts store I know of has them. Are you telling them what size you need, or your make/model? Because I'm pretty sure you'd be looking for a 30.25mm freeze plug, which AAP sells for $0.69. Am I missing something here?

I sincerely doubt it's $20 for one plug, but if it was, I'm definitely not paying it. That's way overpriced.

Haha! $20 is starting to look better and better...
But thanks. However, this one part is not the cause of the car not running unfortunately. Still have a good way to go for that.

IDK if it's the hicktown Advance's we have down here, but I walked in and said I need a 30mm freeze plug, since that's what the coolant reroute calls for to delete the coolant neck, and they looked at me like I was crazy.

Anyway, going to go to some more stores tonight. O'reilys to start with. Just curious as to if anyone had one laying around...

[RotorNutFD3S]

Went to a different Advance where I've never had a problem finding parts, just never in that area. Found 1 30.06mm freeze plug. $0.69. I r happy.

My experience is, they never know what you're talking about unless you have a part number. I always find the part number on their website before going...sometimes their internet price is cheaper, and they match it...other times, the store price is cheaper. Win win, and I get what I need. Just my 0.02...

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah, just amazes me that some of them have no clue what a freeze plug is, or other parts for that matter. :lol: Oh well.

[Roadster]

Sometimes you just have to be pushy. I was trying to find an idler pulley bearing for my cobbled together supercharger setup and didn't have a part number or a make/model for the to go by. I had to just go in the back of the store and search through the shelves until I found a match. Same thing happened trying to find the right length blower drive belt. :lol:

"What kinda car is it fer?"

"Umm, none in particular, can I just come back there and find it myself?" :p

[RotorNutFD3S]

:lol:
Well at this store the people that work there actually have a clue and know me. They just looked at me and said, "Haven't seen you in a while. Whatcha need today?" "Freeze plug." "Go all the way to the back, bottom shelf on the right, first set of lowest drawers." That was that. Freeze plug in hand.
