Blanking unused pipework... What're they called?

[Iain]

Struggling to find these, been looking for days...

I will have some unused breather connections that need blanking off, 13mm ID. Instead of an inch of pipe and a bolt, I'm after a neat solution, like these: http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/product/Rubber_Round_End_Caps_Value_Pack_ECPAK

However they aren't in the required size and I can't find any on eBay etc...

Suggestons?

Can even get fancy Forge ones.

Still requires a bit of pipework tho doesn't it?

I have some metal male parts on the TB and oil catch tank that I want to blank without having hose and something stuffed in it, like an inch of hose with the end closed up.

If u are doing it for neat ness why no just run a longer bit of pipe and hide it so it looks functional and not just like a useless pipe

[turbojolt]

How big are the holes mate

[Iain]

13mm or so

svlet I think it'd look neater having no pipework than a random stretch of pipe that goes to nowhere eventually, and a lot more maintainable.

Why not just have them welded up?

[brainsnova]

Could you cut a thread inside them and put in an Allen key bolt

[svlet]

Just another option

If its for the breather tank...

..this.

I might have so plastic bungs that could help in the van mate also could get some rubber ones but don't k.ow what they would be like under heat tbh

[L14MNP]

I see.

I agree with the above suggestions of tapping/bonding a blanking plug in, or even better having them welded up.

Welding it up could potentially be an option but I fancy cheap, cheerful and reversible.

id tapp a thread inside bud and get a nice shiney allen bolt or torx with a smear of grease or gasket sealer

[swedge]

at my work we use these end cap things that we put over the end of pipes and use a small blow torch which shrinks the cap and is a nice tight fit and can easily be cut off i can get you some if you wannt try them

[Iain]

Cheers all for the suggestions.

Swedge what is your line of work? Something I can buy in a shop somewhere?
