oil drain plug

Okay guys, go ahead and call me stupid :o I installed my turbo using the stock oil pan and put my stock oil plug "up somewhere where I would not lose it". Now today when I went to install the greddy oil pan, i cannot find it. I know the auto store will have some but i was wondering if anyone who had access to a parts catalog could tell me what size it is? I also got shorted the bolts that come with the oil pan and had to go buy some today, so everyone who gets the greddy oil pan, make sure you have a bolt package with it, the stock oil pan bolts will not fit!

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Chris

Neither the parts manual or the shop manual provide size information--only torque specs. Keep lookin'

No problem....

Just pick up one for any '90s RX-7.
Maybe buy a magnetic one for the feel-good factor, I think they are the same price. :D
