I've ordered a pair of corks and will try them, but they will be on a short leash.
I don't currently run original taps on anything but the triple (which is a more modern arrangement), but I'll give them one chance before they go on the shelf as superceded by practicality.
While we're in winter mode here (actually had a frost last night  *roll* ) and its been wet all week am trying to make some progress with loose ends on this project

I've given up on old style taps. I now use Bap taps. They are cheap and don't leak.

Never tell people your troubles. Half of them are not interested and the other half are glad you're getting what's coming to you.

If they cause me any grief they'll be on the spares shelf.
my only beesa still currently on period taps has the later 1972 type (being a '72 bike) that are fine.
My tolerance for leaking taps is close to zero.
