Default Low oil sensor plug

I tried to install my LPP header and found they won't fit with my canton oil pan if the low level sensor is installed, now I need a plug to remove the sensor. Where do I find one?

Thanks in advance

Not the socket, but a correctly threaded plug to replace the sensor.

No luck at the Zone, biggest oil drain plug they had was 14mm. The Thunder Racing one is $20 by the time you pay shipping. Any other ideas?

20mm..is it a 20X1.5mm?

If so then you can get it at Auto Zone.. it's the same thread of the one that i used to block off the T56 Skip-Shift Solenoid..
