There is a number of way to block of the water lines i brazed mine and put rubber caps to protect cutting myself when working on the motor. I dont recomend rubber caps only as they will eventully start to leak, you could drill and tap and install a plug but in the car that would be a pain.

Yes, you can use rubber caps on the nipples. You can use a loop line. The best way is to actually take the nipples out and weld them shut for good!

I wouldn't recommend capping them, that's asking for problems down the road. Simplest is to just loop the line with 5/16th coolant hose.

I also ordered plates from them in December. Got mine within a week. Try sending an email from a different address or through PayPal.
