Freeze plug

I know that freeze plugs have been beat to death here, but the times, they are a changin'.

I used to be able to walk into any parts store and ask for a 20mm freeze plug and have it in hand within a second or two. Now I have to pay five bucks shipping for a .37 cent plug off of rock auto.

I checked the dorman website for a current part number and they are telling me they don't make one anymore.

Any suggestions will help thanks.

Napa auto sells them for .69 a piece, but you might have to wait a day for them. They get them in bags of six. I had them order me a bag, and then I stopped by this place called general trading company, and got them for .48 cents a piece. They had a bunch of dust on them, but you just have to look in the right place! Check napa, and if all else fails I could just send you a few in an envelope, don't let online places screw you with shipping.
