You can cut the tube off, thread the hole and pug a pipe plug in it like I use to do. Those vacum caps are deadly when they pop in the middle of a pass.

I'm saying you have to lol just my personal opinion would be not to use them. Althou I am guilty or using them before up until like mentioned.. one poped and i about wrecked the becuase of it.

The plugs are made by Dorman, and are specifically designed for this application. Try a local auto parts store like Richards, United, Warren woods, etc. You have to use a clamp to hold these in place, they are not vacuum plugs.

usually in the red "Help" section at Murray's or Pep Boys. They have a couple different sizes.

Weld it up or get a big bolt and clamp it into the hose

Just need one? Come and get it if you want... Just let me know so I can make sure we have one and I can pull it for you...

I've used the cap with the clamp before. Now that I think about it, I should replace it with a new cap or thread it and "plug" it.

Best way would be to tap it and plug it, A rubber plug clamped down just looks like poo poo
