Truck intake guys, how are you plugging evap purge solenoid hole?
I have searched and searched, found several threads with no answers and a couple other threads where someone milled their own billet aluminum piece to plug the hole. I don't have a mill so that is out of the question. Has anyone tapped and plugged it with a pipe plug of some sort? Is there a better way? I'm not finding any parts available for this.
This is what Frojoe did. https://ls1tech.com/forums/14940065-post470.html
Thanks for any help.

Follow up: I went ahead and risked it and tapped mine with a 1/4" NPT pipe thread. I put a bushing/adapter in so I have an 1/8" npt hole to fill with a push-lock fitting for my blowoff valve and/or wastgate.
Note: be careful how deep you tap it because of the taper. There isn't a lot of material to thread so I would tap it in stages until you get the fit you like for the fitting you're using, since its only plastic.
I tapped and put an adapter because 1/8" is more common and I won't have to take the fitting in and out ever again.
Also, remember the thread sealant/Teflon tape.
