Default drain plug removal Update

I've got some kind of a cleanout plug on the 4" cast iron street

I've cut out out the brass plug out.

It's 4" iron pipe inside the flange of another pipe. About an inch
sticking out. I thought I would just put a fernco cap on but it's not
really enough to put the cap enough.

Are those brass plugs still available and how do you put them in. I
was at the Borg, so no help there! At least I didn't recognize them.
Does that screw in?

Also, got a small hole in the top of a pipe. How to patch? I would
think tar would be involved...
