Subject:Unusual Expansion Tank Fix Question (pic included)

Well "unusual" to me anyway ;^)

Hi all.

I'm dropping the gas tank today. Will be redoing all the crossover
stuff seals etc.

After pulling one of the expansion tanks I found this "fix"  from PO:

It's obviously a brake bleeder screw. It is clogged. Likely with rust.
(the 3 others are clear) While this part is on the b ench, I want to
fix it right.

Any suggestions on a stainless part I could put in, or plastic?

If so, what's the best adhesive to use so the new part will stay in and sealed?

Unusual I know, and I'm being totally "type a" but it is part of the
fuel system so safety first!

Thanks for any tips!

Neil.
