Alright, where is the drain plug for the radiator?

For my 72 FJ40. It has been re-cored but I can't find any evidence of a drain plug. I did a search too...

Thanks

Pull the bottom house and there is no chance of the petcock braking.

If it does break I found mine was a BSP thread(British standard pipe) which threw the guy in the parts store, Can't remember the size but I'm thinking 1/4", but we found one anyway.

X2 on pulling the bottom hose. Break that plug/tube off and you have turned a 30 minjob into 2 days

Stock radiators, on the passenger side, have a 2-3" long tube capped off with a brass drain plug. Aftermarket ones have short draincocks and lack the tube. Much harder to reach. On my aftermarket one, I took a deep socket and cut out 2 slots to easily reach the "wing". IIRC, they unscrew opposite of lefty loosey, so don't force it.

If there is no evidence maybe someone already broke it off and had it sealed up?
