I guess they are rare, and I don't know where I got the few I have. But another way to plug the MC ports for testing is to buy a short (1') line with the correct fitting on each end, cut it in two, then fold the cut ends over and hammer them flat—thus making them into plugs.
I haven't bought any in some time, but Pep Boys had 2 types of lines with "metric" fittings—Japanese and European. I think the Japanese (also 11mm hex) have a different thread pitch, so they won't work.
I really can't believe you hurt the MC, but hope you can plug those ports and do the test. The pedal should be hard as a rock. I did it once when I thought I had MC problems, but didn't.
Did you get a chance to check for "mismatched" caliper halves? We had a case of that on the BB recently. I once got a nice new-looking caliper at the boneyard that turn out to be mismatched. I never heard of it till then, but others have posted about it since I did.
