Full Version: Cap for the heater tubes in the engine compartment
Who makes a cap for the heater tubes? I will be running headers so I need to cap off the tube in my engine compartment. Any chance that someone makes cap for this?
Thanks

I think its a 2" rubber cap for pvc plumbing pipe that is a near perfect fit.
Wilson makes them. Might need a little duct tape to keep them there:
spray paint/carb cleaner/brake cleaner caps with out the screwdriver slot
Cap-plugs company, or the dust cover caps off of a turbonetics gtk 350 turbocharger.

I used a 2" expanding pipe plug. It works very well. Insert and tighten the wingnut.
+1 on the spray paint can top. Fits like a glove.
Cap-Plugs makes some really nice ones that are relatively heat resistant but I can't seem to figure out how to order less than 100.
The other option are also appreciated
Thanks

I had been searching for some CAPlugs which is what ElectroAutomotive suggested using to plug the 914 heater tube ends. I found some distributors but they all looked like they wanted to do high volume sales. I e-mailed the EVDL without much luck except getting the same list I had previously "Googled". After a couple of weeks, I received an e-mail from Stephen Kocsis of CAPlugs.com who kindly offered to send some samples of what I needed. The CAPug.com catalog is overwhelming to say the least; they must have over a thousand different plastic products to choose from. However, I did find the two different sizes CAPlugs that I needed and e-mailed them off to Stephen. About a week later, I received six of the CAPlugs that were exactly what I needed.

as mentioned, a set of rubber caps and ss clamps can be found in your local hardware store in the plumbing department. i used them to cap the j-tubes as i didn't run an aux heat fan. you will need to fab up some covers for the j-tube holes in the engine tin.
