Hi - does anyone have a photo of the original 72 Australian radiator drain at the bottom?
Attached is a photo of mine which looks to have the head sheared off? Does it look like the original Radiator? Cheers

This is the drain plug on my 1970 Cooper S.

Is the brass ID plate still soldered to the header tank? If so what is the part number. I can check parts lists to confirm.

Thanks for that! Mine certainly looks similar, but the plug is rogue/unuseable.
Mine has no ID plate. Thanks again.

I do not know the dates but there was one with a small wing nut type tap affair set in larger plug, then there was just the plug as you have shown.
