I made plugs for my self about 25 years ago. I used an old
brake tube and an old brake hose from a Datsun(?) or
Toyota(?). I cut the fittings off the brake hoses, dug 
the remaining rubber out of the fittings and then brazed 
(bronze rod) the hole closed. I now had a female plug to 
put on the end of a disconnected brake tube, to prevent 
the fluid from all siphoning out. For a set of _male_ plugs, 
I cut the brake tube flush with the male nut, and brazed 
it closed. I snug the plugs down with a pair of wrenches. 

These bunch of male nuts and female nuts come in
very handy when disconnecting the brake system.

A person could probably do the same thing with a propane
torch, some plumbers solder and flux. Steel wool etc. the
metal bright and ****ny, apply flux and solder. Don't cut the
tube flush... leave some sticking out and solder the tube 
closed.
