Lost - hydraulic pump reservoir plug. Replacement?
I have a 2005 Xfire roadster. I Noticed that the hydraulic fluid in the pump reservoir (in the trunk, driver side) was below minimum.
I purchased the fluid and, as I was unscrewing the drain plug, I lost it down into the fender well. Can’t see it. Can’t fit a hand down there. Tried fishing with. Magnet - no luck.
Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement? Or what I can use as a replacement?

Fairly easy to remove pump. Then you can find the plug. Use a cork to keep the fluid in. Disconnect the cylinder from the top, remove 3 10mm? nuts, and it will come up enough to get your hands down into the wheel well.
I have an extra pump so I'll look at the plug to verify size and thread pattern tomorrow.

I am sure if you wait a while someone will tell you the thread size.
The screw has a hex head and a washer underneath the head.
Put reservoir pump in search and there is a picture of the reservoir with the screw in place.
Search is your friend.
