Default Breather or plug for AIR pump whole in lid?

I recently removed all the tubing for the AIR pump and was wondering if there is a more attractive way to block off the hole in the lid than putting a bolt in the elbow and taping around it. Possibly a breather, or a more attractive plug?

I just got my slp lid a little over a week ago and they sent me the 01 02 lid. I have a 99. I just went to menards in the nuts/bolts section was able to find push in plastic plugs. I think mostly used for computer desks. anyway its flat and has little clips on the back that snap in place. It works perfect.

Yeah go look around at ur local hardware store, you can find stuff like the above poster said. Also I know at autozone in the "help" products section they sell something that fits fairly well... it comes in a pack of 2. I think its like a master cylinder gasket for a chrysler but I can't remember.

I just bought a plug for mine tonight - whoever took the AIR system off my car before I owned it didn't plug the hole. I read on another forum that a 7/8" hole plug would work, so I picked one up from Lowes and it was too big. So I went back in and got the 3/4" hole plug, and it fit well. Here is the product page, comes in a 2-pack and is located in the hardware drawers near all the fasteners.

Tomorrow I can take a picture of how it looks if anyone is interested.

I went to EBay and bought cigarette lighter saftey plugs, the plain plastic ones, and they fit like they were made for it. nice and snug no glue needed.
