Looking for a vacuum plug cap (Read 53 times)

WolverineWinMX YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 29	Looking for a vacuum plug cap 08/23/19 at 10:22:18 I replaced my stock petcock with the Yamaha Raptor petcock and did a temporary seal of my vacuum plug by folding up the rubber tubing there and zip tying it. Does anyone have an extra vacuum plug cap they can gift me? I can pay for the stamps/shipping. The auto parts store here wants like $7 for a pack of 4. I just need one. Thanks!

If you just want a cleaner look I understand the cap, or a bullet casing with sealant. If you don't care just snag a hose clamp and it will work fine until that hose rots which could be years away.

You can shove a bolt or some other plug in there too.

A modified rivet will do the job.
I have a bunch of flat head rivets that are slightly smaller than the vac port ID. I put it in a vice and compressed it until it was a tight fit. Then I hammered it in. To remove it takes a pin punch from the other side.

A round head rivet with a little RTV would work too.

But I've been meaning to try a 1/4" copper tubing solder cap with RTV.
