There is a company called O'Keefe Controls , P.O. Box Q, Trumbull, Ct 06611
800-533-3285 or 203-261-6711. They make any kind of orfice you can imagine
call them and ask for a catalog. I have never ordered from them so I do not
know about quanity but try them there catalog is impressive.

Many thanks.  I just talked to "Patrick" at O'Keefe Controls.  They were able
to supply me with two "Bleed Plugs" with a 1/32" (.031") orifice and 1/4 NPT
threads (part # EH-31-BR) for $7.95 (Ouch!) each ($10 min order).  They are
also available in 1/8 NPT or 10-32 NF configurations.  I'm all set.  I will of
course keep my eyes open for a cheaper supply for future projects ;-o
