Might anyone have a circa 1965 fuel tank drain plug that I could purchase?

If I'm not mistaken a 65 wouldn't have had a drain plug

Confusing terminology......Plug/versus pipe?? Are you guys referring to the plug that was screwed into the tank where the drain pipe goes?
Very cars did have a small plug instead of a drain pipe.

Just want to be clear.

According to the AKD the LH tank had a drain tube from VIN;
Morris 468194 on
Austin 466530 on
That would be 63/64 onwards. roughly speaking.
