A friend of mine removed both plugs at the rear of his engine. I have the large one (1 47/64) but I see nowhere in the MPB the smaller one which has a diameter of 29 mm or 1 9/64". Where can I find such a plug, or has somebody such a plug for sale?
NAPA is not an option from Switzerland...

Roger,
Check this out, and if you see something that would fit, I can always get it for you here and ship it to you if no one on here has one.  If it requires a concave plug, you can go a little less in diameter to get the proper expansion when installing.

Thanks Bobby for the link. I search already on the Dorman site, but not found this listing. Anyway, that diameter is not listed! Either my friend did a too approximate measure or this is really an "exotic" plug...Maybe others will have  an idea.
Thanks again!

Roger,
   29 mm listed on the second link under metric cup plugs. Good luck!

Oups! did not noticed that there was a second link! Indeed, that diameter is listed. Will see if there is a possibility to order it; I have doubts. I'll try tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

Roger,
   If they won't ship to you, I'll get it and send it over to you. Let me know.

Bobby, I send an inquiry to the plug factory as I could not order the plug directly. I let you know about the outcome!

Bobby, even if they say that they are giving an answer within the next 24 hours, the Freeze plug factory did not take the pain to say they don't want to make business for just one part.
My friend had no luck either with his machine shop; I searched myself for such plugs in France, they don't have this diameter.
Therefore, I'm coming back to you; I would appreciate if you could organize that 29 mm plug. Details like payment and address can be handled via PM.
Thanks!

Hi Bobby
To get 2 pieces is a good idea! I suppose you got my MP.
