Looking for lower radiator fitting

I am replacing my radiator due to a leak and its age, and also need to find this brass fitting. It screws into the bottom of the radiator. Anyone able to identify it?

The only problem with the linked that Knotty posted is that the barb fitting doesn't have that small restriction hole, from a quick Google search it's used for heating up the tranny radiator cooler faster. Not sure if it will affect anything if it doesn't have that restriction hole or if you have a manual tranny which I imo shouldn't matter.

Maybe someone that has changed over to a regular barbed fitting can shine in and give it's thoughts on the matter.
