price of brass vs steel? cast? pipe fittings = weird

Just paid $9,88 for a 1/16 brass pipe plug. Had a hell of a time even finding it. I feel your pain.

I too had a hard time finding a fitting [1/16 npt male x 1/8 npt female] years ago to do a pressure test on a FWD Sebring 4 speed auto. By chance I found it on Amazon listed under Ford fuel injector parts. Chrysler auto transmissions have about [5] 1/16'' steel plugs on them.
