Default lost rad. drain plug on EL 6

I've lost the drain plug for my radiator, anyone know what size/length/material they are. Would it be better to try radiator places, or auto shops (a1, repco etc). Would ford dealers stock them?
Getting to a ford dealer would be hard for me, so if anyone knows what they are made of (plastic or metal with fibro/copper washer) and what size they are I could look around nearby auto parts stores

if the radiator is in the car try removing it as sometimes they get trapped within the panels.
Usually the plugs have a barb on the end so they dont get lost with the coolant.
failing that its off to a wreckers or the like buddy
