Freeze Plug Sizes

Does anyone know what sizes the freeze plugs are? I tried searching but didn't get many results. I know pineapple sells a kit but I want to try and find brass ones.

Out of curiosity, why are the plugs removed for nitriding or lapping?

Nothing was wrong with them, I removed them when having my irons re-nitrided.

They are removed because I was told that the process can fuse them together. I also read it can cause them to leak.

For those interested the motor uses 6 - 30mm 1 - 25mm and 1 - 20 mm. I ordered them from napa. Minimum order of 6 each. The cost was about $11 for the steel ones.
