Default Header Air Injection Manifold Plug

I bought a set of slightly used Hooker Super Comps and did not realize they had the "air injection manifold" stuff so the next question is can I get a bolt from say HomeDepot to bolt into and plug the holes adequately without any issues such as them working their way loose? If so can somebody tell me the bolt size as I really don't want to run through HomeDepot with a set of headers looking for the proper fittings.

I would rather just use these and get a new set later on after I get the new exhaust system fabricated and make sure I like how these Super Comps fit as I heard they are a tight fit so that is why I bought used.

I know it will not look the best, but for now it is more of function vs. looks.

Thanks...

I imagine it is pipe thread, not a bolt. Why don't you bring them to an auto parts store and find a plug?

I think it is 1/4 inch pipe plugs that I used. I have never had them work loose. It'll look like this:

Available in the plumbing isle of your local Home Depot or whatever hardware store you have around you.

Thanks for the info and I am very happy to hear that I will still be able to use these pipes for a while until I get some other things sorted out first. Yeah...it looks like a 1/4" pipe fitting now that I am looking at the threads as I can't imagine any bolt working.
