I laser cut some plugs from 1/4" alum plate and I'll press them in with some sealant.

Are these 1/8" SS plugs sold at HD/Lowes, typically? Got the plenum off now, and I'd like to finally put an end to messing with the cooling system every time...

I was not able to find this thread on any plugs at local hardware stores here in VA, I endeded up ordering these from Summit Racing.

Not sure about the big box stores, but they are pretty common online.
We order often from McMaster Carr here at the shop and I just threw my order in with another job.
