What size plug for side of air lid after AIR removal?? I took out my AIR system today...I had it deleted from the computer yesterday, so the pump and hoses were just added weight and clutter. I need a rubber plug for the side of the air lid. Anyone know what size and where I can find one? I remember seeing something before, but I can't find the thread.

I was gonna dremel the hell out of mine and stuff it with rtv sealent, but I don't want that crap to get sucked up into the intake. I'd imagine something around a 5/16" vacuum cap would fit it. You can pick that up at any autozone/discount auto parts store.

this is what I used.
best of all it was free. Go to
www.caplugs.com
It's part number BPF-1 1/8-6. You can order these online but there's a min qty. order. Somewhere on the home page you can click to order free samples, which is what I did.
BTW the hole is 1.125" dia. and lid thickness is .120" on my SLP lid. I would assume they are all the same.

I came to this thread via the Headers sticky in the External Engine forum. I just wanted to add that you can no longer get a free plug from www.caplugs.com I've tried on three seperate occasions to get my free sample without results. I e-mailed the company a few times and never got a reply. I tried calling and they said they would try and find my order and then get back to me...no dice. You're all better off hitting the auto parts store and/or home depot to find a plug.
I'm the guy who originally posted about the capplug. I just got a PM from someone about 2 weeks ago who got one. Maybe they are on to us -lol
The hole in the lid should be 1.125" and the material (on my SLP lid) is .120 thick.
I may still have some in the garage, if you want one email me
slpss01@yahoo.com
I also have a company account with Caplugs so I should be able to get a few more free samples.

I went to Menards and bought a "Knock Out Seal" that is labeled 3/4" The subtext says its "For closing exposed Holes in an Outlet Box or Metal Enclosure" and its found in the Electrical Department. All it needs is to be painted and it fits perfectly!
I have two more (lost 1 somehow) so if anybody needs one i'll put it in an envelope and mail it off, just pm me!
