Default Plugging O2 bungs

So just got me headers and I noticed that they have two sets of O2 bungs, the second for wide-band tuning which I will not be doing at this time. My question is how do I plug the extra set of bungs. would I be able to thread a bolt in there to plug them, if so does anyone know what thread size to use?

FAST sells plugs for a few dollars. Or you can get an old ford spark plug, obviously they are large....but cheap plugs.
