coolant level sensor plug?

i have a radiator, and its got the dang sensor installed on the tank.
i have a few friends with aftermarket(stock replacement) rads and theres came with a plug installed here. the plugs are in the garbage long ago. i need one. does anyone know the size or where to buy one?
i dont need my sensor, it will look much better with it removed.
thanks.

correct.
ive seen several radiators come from advance auto parts that have some sort of plug/cap type thing. never really thought about it being useful.
ive been told some of the earlier v6 models dont use a low coolant sensor, so the aftermarket radiator comes with a fitting installed in the spot where the sensor would normally go.
called and asked for a v6 and a v8 radiator and its the same part #. hate to spend 189 bucks for a plug. LOL
preciate any help.

thanks for the bump too!

hmmmm, i assume that it is a tapped hole and you could possibly put a short bolt in there, if thats the case go to the hardware store and start lookin around lol.

is it threaded? like the tranny lines that go in the rediator?
