Go to a hardware store and get a plastic plug, they should have many sizes. They are used for pluging hydraulic lines when you disconect them so all the oil doesn't leak out of the system. Leave the rubber gromet in the lid and rtv the plug in. That what i did

I used a PVC end cap on mine and just painted it black. Left the grommet in there and it worked like a charm.
