We ned all our coolers for the trip this weekend so on my weely trip to lowes I ytacked down an assosciate and asked wheere can i find a 9mm rubber stopper or cork in the fastener aisle.
He asked, "you need exactly 9mm?" so i showed him this:

Lowes should have all sizes of rubber and cork .
Or just pop off a round and use the casing and silicone to make your own . Lol .

It looks like you have a 9 mm cork, and a fine conversation starter as well. Maybe swap it for a fired case, and you could trim it with a hacksaw if you don’t want your ‘cork’ to protrude so far.
 
Use a rubber cork. Harbor junk sells a small kit with various sizes. I lost caps to gas cans I used for motorcycle racing,
and I use them...still after 20yrs. No issues.
 

Also type in 9mm cork into eBay. Lots pulled up.
