Default Missing coolant bolt

My '94 accord is missing a bolt from the coolant resouviour near the oil filter- i think its called a drain plug bolt- the honda dealership said that its a special bolt i need and it will cost around 6dollars (3pounds 90pence) and take 3 weeks to arrive- i think they are just being gay.

does anyone know if i can just stick in a standard bolt-and what size it needs to be....

I really hate the honda dealership down my way- i want to avoid going there and handing over any money, im off to check some scrap yard for the bolt,

problem is, i dont have proper tools so i cant jack the car up and see what size the bolt is

Dude - if you dont want any problems - trust me pay the freaking 10 dollars for that bolt and forget about it.

All honda dealers are gay the point is to find the one that is less gayish the 3 weeks wait is what sux but what are you gonna do?

my advice - pay the money for the proper bolt and install it with the right torque!
