Dorman used to carry them. Find a parts store that has a Dorman catalog you can leaf through.

Hi Ron,
I need 1 1/8", 1 5/16", & 1 5/8" "concave" (not cup) plugs in brass. I can find the first two in .080" thick brass, which is ok. Can only find the 1 5/8" plugs in .032" thickness. I'm not comfortable with the thin plug.
I think I've looked pretty thoroughly. Any ideas?

Dave,
Most machine shops have them or can get them rather quickly. I have some extras but they are not the concave style that you need.
Here's the link for Dorman Expansion Plugs. Get the part numbers for the size and styles that you need in Brass and take them to a NAPA store. They can cross them over and get them for you.

Paul,
I've been around & around the catalogs & local parts stores including Napa. Found no concave/domed type plugs in brass/bronze in the 1 5/8" that I need with the exception of one manufacturer, (Seastrom) & that only in .032" thickness.You may know something that I don't. In any event, I gave up & used steel.
Thanks for the interest,
D
