New 114 owner

[RobbyB]

Thanks for the admission to the forum. I have recently purchased a 1973 230 (114) petrol. Just having an engine serviced and the garage have found a small amount of water ingress from one of the three plugs that block the waterway on the cylinder head. John at Mercedes-Benz Poole has been very helpful but they are no longer available from him. Part no. is 1809970630. I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction to find one please? I have attached a picture of the damaged one.
PS if not available would anyone know the dimensions and thread pitch so I would make one?
Many thanks Robert

Hello and welcome.
Maybe a second hand one, or try the local nuts and bolt supplier's?
