I did not know they came in brass. There are a lot in a 2F, different sizes. Only use metric! Are you doing them with the engine in the vehicle or out and apart?

Yeahh i searched online and i found a kit with brass plugs. Only the seller is from Australia and i cant ship it to Curacao (the island i live). The engine is out of the FJ, so we have some spaces to replace them! But i am curious about what al the sizes are and how many there are. And i understand from your picture that there are a lot!? Hahah
Brass would look really nice on a black block. Could the Ozzie give you a list of what's in his kit? Since the engine is out, just walk around and make a list. You'll have to remove the valve cover and side cover to count those. Maybe look in the FAQs or wait for someone who knows.
Here are diagrams illustrating all of the plugs in a 2F engine.
Some of these are actually welch plugs, not traditional freeze plugs.
11431B is placed on both ends of the oil galley.
This plug is especially shallow; if a deeper plug is installed, it will push the camshaft into the thrust plate, likely damaging it.
Plug 11118A has a tendency to eventually leak, and there are threads here to explain how to replace with a threaded replacement.
