Since we don't have a real hardware store I broke down
and used galvanized pipe plugs. 1/8 inch, I believe.
The little square nubs sticking out of the side of the
head don't looks a good as set screws but still better
than the giant headed bolts that were in it.

I am not sure why pipe thread would fit if they are
supposed to be 7/16 fine. Unless the DPO did some
creative thread work. They actually fit smoothly with
teflon tape and don't leak.
