Question Plugging Tranny Cooler Lines on Radiator???

Does anyone know the size of the plug I would need to plug each of the two spots on the radiator where the tranny cooler lines would go? I bought a new replacement radiator, and I have an M6, so no need for those connections....

1/2-20 IIRC. I bought them a while ago and just brought the tranny cooler lines to the hardware store.

Just leave them open... No real need to plug them.

its tidier, plus it prevents any spillage when driving if theres residual in there.

Re: Plugging Tranny Cooler Lines on Radiator???

So, it's 1/2-20? Is it a flare fitting that I would need? I also need to plug the lines so I would need female flare fittings, correct? The radiator is in a '94 Z28.
