  View original topic: 'Caps' for holes in tin

I recently replaced my heater boxes with jtubes, does anyone sell 'caps' to cap off the holes in the tin that are no longer used for hoses ?

Thanks,

I believe BugHaus has them.

The fan shroud outlets can be capped with these:

The rear tin openings can be covered by just sheetmetal screwing some small pieces of, well, sheetmetal. Rear tin without openings is also available for a few dollars more:

Big rubber or cork stoppers will plug the holes in the tin. My local
Ace Hardware has them.

Just replace the tin with 1 without holes, it will look a LOT nicer than mickeymouse plugs lol......$5-15 about all it costs

I found this piece years ago with no holes. It's a Brazilian piece and fits like OEM.

CB performance sells those shrouds. OEM VW. that would definitely be a safe option.
i'm not sure of the price though.
