You can get nylon (or other) 10/32 threaded plugs from 
http://www.usplastic.com , or go with a nylon screw and get an "O" 
ring to help seal the edge. 10/32 is the smallest threaded plug or 
fitting, but they have 4/40 screws in nylon if you need something 
smaller. Just ignore the inserted religious material if you're not 
interested. As long as they don't try and force me to their belief, 
it's easy to ignore it. If they come to my house.... well that would 
be a completely different thing.

Also those fittings are made by the Eldon James Corp., so you might 
look them up to see about ordering directly, but you may need to buy 
by the hundred (or more) count, instead of a few at a time.
