Hey Tom.. imagine someone opens a brake line and has to leave it open for a while.. maybe they need to take the caliper somewhere.. or whatever.. now the line is drip drip dripping all day long.

How about a little plug to stop the drip?

C'mon.. we've all faced this with one car or another. I stuck a pencil in there once. That did not end well :shh:

I'm sure I could print some plug in TPU (rubbery plastic), but a good set of silicon plugs might do the trick if I'm following your idea....

Just ordered a set from amazon.ca ...thanks!

These.. combined with a bag full of assorted plastic plugs from a generous member years ago and I am one step closer to complete 951 hole plugging coverage :D

I just used some rubber vacuum caps. They're easy to find at your local auto parts store.

I've used golf tees before. Not ideal but they work.

I’ve used rubber plugs or if there’s a rubber line at the wheel a plastic clamp or these will also work. https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-22850-Hose ... dd69ff9284
