SLP won't even sell the plug seperately. Try here.

Go to home depot or lowes and brainstorm man.

There are so many plugs in the damn place. Hell try the adult toy store. I've been told that place is full of plugs.

Just did the same thing, I got whats called a push in plug(for electrical boxes) from the local hareware store. You'll have to look at what they have, as they had a assortment of sizes.

The capplugs piece I found looks exactly like the one SLP has, take a real close look. I'd almost be willing to bet that it is the same part.

www.caplugs.com get the 1 3/32 plug, fits perfect, and it's free! Thats right, just sign up for a free sample kit and they let you pick up to 10 items and will maile them to you free.
