[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 552067, member: 3256"] This is what I'm trying now: [IMG]https://www.uselesspickles.com/files/pictures/fjr_pair_removal/blockoff_cap_materials.jpg[/IMG] Some 1/2" "heater hose" from the auto parts store, some rubber stoppers from the hardware store and some silicone adhesive to keep them together (although, they did fit together pretty tightly without the adhesive). The original clamps from stock hoses are re-used to hold the custom cap in place. The end of the rubber stopper plugs the hole nicely: [IMG]https://www.uselesspickles.com/files/pictures/fjr_pair_removal/stopper_test.jpg[/IMG] I'll get a picture of them installed after the adhesive dries. I didn't use high-temp adhesive, but I think it'll be fine because the area that is being glued is quite insulated from direct contact with hot parts by the rubber stopper and hose. The adhesive is only at the wide end of the stopper. I'll keep an eye on it and report back after I get some good miles with this setup. [/QUOTE]
