So long as they fit, just find 3 the same from some other battery and screw them in. Done!

I used a large rubber stopper from the local hardware store for years on my 6 volt battery. I even used a very small diameter plastic tube (from a carb cleaner spray can) for venting. A small V shaped cut on the side of the rubber stopper was added for the vent tube.
