the latex glove just minimizes leakage. To seal the system while the brakes are away, get four 2-3" long M10 bolts and matching nuts, and place them through the junction block where the banjo bolt would normally go. Reuse the copper washers on either side of the block and snug the nuts down. Don't need to be supertight, as there will be no pressure on the system.
