If you search for vacuum caps it will come up with some decent search results. You will find you have to buy stupidly large amounts though as no one sells a \'kit\' of various sizes, which sucks....

Don\'t buy cheap quality ones either as I heard they split easily and obviously a pain to replace if they\'re in a tight location, i.e everything fully assembled!

Next time I need some caps I\'m going to do what another member on here suggested and buy some solid rubber hose, cut to desired length and drill out whatever internal bore size I need. Good points are: Rubber is going to be more hard wearing than silicone, cheap, create any size you need.

Can\'t you get them from demon tweeks as well?

i would check they will take the temps and water... i had some that after 1 start of the car they all went PFFFFFFT and squirted coolant everywhere.

i would say either use hose and a bolt or get the pipes welded up.

Did you find any samco ones cheaper than £9?? I\'ve only found silver cheapo eBay ones for a £5er and forge ones for similar price, would prefer a samco one same colour as my hoses!

I have got my hoses from here if you need some generic sorts, they do good quality reducers and also thick walled vac hose:

Hi benji i\'ve not really looked! there dont seem to be much in the way of silicone blanks on the market that are easily available, plenty of alloy bungs etc but nothing to plug a pipe.
If the rear iron was off i would cut the nipple off, thread and plug it.
