Caliper Plug?

I'm getting ready to upgrade my brakes which includes installing ss braided lines and while I was at it painting the calipers.

When I paint the caliper I'd like to be able to plug up the hole on the caliper like when you get them brand new from the store.

I've attached a picture of what I'm talking about below. The green plug circled is what I'm talking about. Does any know where I can get these plugs?

Thanks!

Just put a bolt in there. That'll give you a place to hang them too.

Caliper fitting

If it is a banjo fitting, you may need to use a stack of washers to mask the seating area. There are two copper washers that seal the connection

Hmmm, didn't think of that. Makes sense, What is the thread size on those? Anyone know?

I don't remember. M10x1.25 or something. I think it's the same as the bleeder screw.
