A spare male foster fitting was used to supply some basic dimensions. Chopped off a small piece of acetal rod.
Faced the acetal in the Taig and added a small bevel.
Cut a couple grooves for o-rings. This is all just quick freehand so far.
Need to get the other end to about this diameter.
A really small homemade parting tool did the trick.
A few comparisons to the foster part showed where to make some additional relief cuts.
Two green o-rings will help me find the plug when I set it down on a dark floor.

I just ran across this blog and I know it is rather old, but I have been looking for plugs like this. I need about 6 for all of my lines and fittings. I was able to get a few similar from another source but he is now out of the business. I have also found one source for stainless test plugs but they are costly. Are you able to make more for others? and if so what would you need.
