Today I changed the fluid in my Regent Hydro and in the process the vent plug broke. I am reaching out to you all in the hopes that someone might just have one laying around and is willing to give away or sell. This vent thing comes in 3 pieces. The top vent, the tube and then the threaded end at the bottom is what I need.
Would really appreciate the help.

So if noone has the part I need, what about suggestions for a substitute?

Went to a plumbing supply shop and got a brass fitting with matching threading. Works just fine and will most certainly be more durable.
