hose people use a bolt and a clamp

nothing fancy

depend what you try to cap off

What size hoses have you got. I used a rubber walking stick end / ferrule to blank off a perished cap on my inlet manifold on the Aristo the other week. Cost me 50p compared to a tuner end cap for £5.

doesnt fully block off the hole using a bolt as the air travels down and around the thread (When I looked for leaks I found air leaking out of hoses that were blocked off like that, looked like it was sealed but it wasnt)

you using the wrong bolt

go for the one is not fully treaded
