I say just go to a junkyard and find a 67-72. It's not something people pull off very often.

go to a hardware store or plumbing supply and get the cover that goes into a 4 hole sink when you are using a faucet without spray, it is a small cover that plugs the hole where a sink spray would go through the sink, it has tabs that can been bent in and stay, you could also paint it, the technical term is: a cockhole cover. I know that sounds very nasty and I am not trying to be but that is what it is called, for real.

Go to a hardware store and get a metal furnuture plug. They come in sizes from 1/4 in all the way to 11/2
