It's been awhile, but I've seen stocks of various sized domed plugs in the occasional FLAPS. If you find a well stocked one, they come in sizes from about 1/4" to over 2" FYI, 914 master cylinders have a couple of thin alum plugs capping off a brake fluid drilling. I worked on one once that had corroded away and was leaking. I was able to find a commercial cap for the large one (~ 1/2") and I made a small copper one (~5mm.) both worked well and both are thicker than OE, so they should last forever. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
