914 fuel tank is leaking at one of the threaded spigots on the bottom of the tank. The threads are stripped. Can't repair them with a thread file. I've posted a picture. It is the fuel return port that doesn't have to be used as this 914 has carbs. Anyone know of an option to plug or seal off this port?Attached Image

Use a 1/4 NPT tap inside of the threaded nipple install a pipe plug. No drilling needed.

That is probably your best bet. Make sure to use a fuel proof sealant on the plug. JB Weld makes this:
