Default AIR fitting thread size?

im gonna be deleting the AIR pump this weekend, does anyone know what size the thread is so i can get a couple bolts to plug the LTs up?

also, since this is going around in a topic, as long as there is a good fuse in the box, the SES wont go off for deleting it correct?

I'm pretty sure that fittings on the LTs are -10 thread, -10 caps should work fine...Thats what I had on my Kooks until I re-hooked the AIR back up...

hmm... did the penny cover the tapered hole in the fitting then the plug holds it down inside the tube?

I am wondering the same thing, i heard you can just get a cap bolt and screw it over the A.I.R fittings.

You'll have to use pipe thread, you can't just use a bolt.
