Plastic plugs for bead plasting

[rogerowen]

I'm looking for a kit of various sized plastic bung / plugs for plugging up holes in motorcycle engine parts to keep them clear of media while I'm blasting. The only suppliers I've found want to sell them in single sizes with minimum order of thousands.

Does anyone know of an economical supply? Thanks.

Access to a lathe? Turn up some softwood plugs and tap them gently home

Short bit of insulated wire with a few turns of amalgamating tape. I blasted some cases with 20 3/16 bscy threaded holes, I looked around and came up with the 'plugs, after blasting when I cleaned the threads I didn't find any bead in them at all.
If you want to buy something, powder coating plugs may well do the job and I think they are a few quid a hundred[google them].

Do chemists still sell corks? A bit of gaffer tape to make them last longer and they should do the job.
