I also think since the Loop style GP hole is big you could easily us something like a 20 Gauge Shot Gun Cleaning Brush; which come in Bronz or Stainless Steel (careful not to buy the Nylon one that is not stiff enough.)
However, it would be handier to also have a short section of the Shot Gun Cleaning Rod to mount the brush on.
It may even be that dipping the Brush in Gun Cleaning Solovent might help clean the Carbon out too.
But I have no example of an Engine with the Loop style plugs to try this out on so someone who owns one will have to do so.
If you want to try it measure or take the Glow Plug with you; I believe even Wal Mart sells the cleaning brushes.

Updated pencil plugs or not, the old loop plug glow plug chambers still need to be cleaned out, and that means a reamer is required. One could probably get away with just screwing the updated pencil plugs in where the loop plugs had been, but there could still be a ton of of carbon in there.
As for using a bore brush... Yeah, that would probably work great. I'd just be worried about loosing a bristle in there. A reamer would be much safer and more efficient.
Do you actually have the larger reamer? If so, would you be willing to share the dimensions?
