I used the Dorman 555-011s, but I had to splay them with a socket to make them fit snug. Then, just to be on the safe side, I coated the plugs with JB Weld before installing them to make sure they sealed perfectly.
I tried the 555-108s that Pete suggested, but I couldn't get them to work. It probably was due to the fact I was using a socket (to drive the plugs in) that just fit inside the rim of the plug and wasn't allowing the plug to be swagged into the bearing recess. Had I used a smaller socket, or just a socket extension, then they might have fit better (according to Pete).
