Charge Relief Valve Cap Help

Hey there,

I have searched and have been unable to find this info.

My FD has the non-seq mod, and I have this the rear charge relief valve port that needs to be capped. I have it capped with a rubber foot for a chair and a worm clamp, but the heat keeps melting my cap and I am hoping to find some type of high temp cap to put here as a permanent fix. In the picture attached is the port that I am talking about.

Does anyone know the size of this port so I can order the correct size? What are some other creative ways you guys have capped these openings?



Thanks!

I used a high temp vinyl cap from mcmastercarr and a hose clamp.

Just went and checked on my cap to make sure I didn't give bad advice....

Mine has been there for about a year, the vinyl is no longer flexible. I'm also not 100% on the resistance of vinyl to oil.

The cap will last longer than the chair feet, but I would still inspect it every 6 months or so!
