i turned a solid PVC bar down in a lathe at work into a piece that resembled the fitting that came out of the hole. then reused the rubber gasket that was already there.

Go to Lowes. They have chrome plugs with the nuts and screws in the self serve drawers that you pull out. They also have all sorts of GM Fasteners too. A little RTV sealant and you're good.
