1. Drill a 3/8" hole in the center of the plug.
I used a lathe with a 1/4" drill to make the hole, then expanded it with a unibit to 3/8". What matters is that you end up with a 3/8" hole, and that the hole is very close to the center. If it seems a bit tight, try taking off a small amount of material with scissors.
2. Press the bushing into the hole, flange out.
3. Drill and tap two small threaded holes for retention screws. I used 6-32 x 1/4" screws
4. Install the screws. Don't over-tighten them, as you can easily tilt the bushing with these screws. It's better for the bushing to wobble around in place than be fixed to a crooked position.
5. Press (Or glue, if you're into the permanence thing) the plug into your T.
I used an unusual 3/4" coupler that I found at menards for a couple bucks. A regular T will work fine, but has a bit more deadspace and puts more bend in the airflow. You could use a regular coupler, or even a cap if you take the trouble to drill and seal a hole into the plunger tube.
