Go to AZ, and get one of their magnetized drain plugs with the 14mm head. Take your old one with you to match thread size. Get some copper crush washers to go on it while you're there. I've just been using the one that came on it, but the copper ones get a lot of compliments as far as superior sealing properties.

That's where I was hoping to find a new drain plug. I like the magnetized ones. Thanks for the help here. I was hoping I could just walk in and buy one and not have to order one.
