it will be a metric fine or possibly even a pipe thread of some kind, sorry i don't have anything more definitive then that. Best bet is to just get another from a wreckers, no need to worry about the specifics of the thread then.

Yup sounds like the best way to do it,and don't try doing it up so tight

They sell them at Repco, they know which one wil fit.

Andd the plugs are designed to strip before the thread in the sump does. They are alot softer metal.
Eassier to replace a plug than re-tap your sump!

another option is to get a Merc one, they are much longer so you can get ur sump re-tap with longer threads and u will never have this trouble again, I had this done on 2 of my Hondas, from memory the bolt only cost abt $10

or if ur in a bind, a quick and temp fix if u ever take a sump plug out and it stripped and cant put it back in, screw a sparkplug in it's place.. dodgy but it works to get to the auto store and back..

I epoxied mine in when i was a poor uni student.
i forgot about about it and drove around sweet as for about 3-4 months.
Rangi i know but it did do the trick.
