Plugging orifices for cleaning and painting

[dmoses42]

I know they make plugs for blocking off passages for cleaning and painting, my question is where / who has the best selection? I'm looking for sizes from brake line/power steering/intake manifold orifice sizes currently... Who has a good selection? Cheap is good, quality is better... Thanks, y'all!

Foam ear plugs are cheap and handy for some of those things.

Rubber vacuum caps code work too I like the ear plug idea

I'm digging the earplug idea for the brake parts. Never thought of anything like that, thanks Viper!

And the rubber vacuum caps would work for larger orifices. Awesome, thanks spap!

Duct tape always works, but can be tedious. If you're cleaning and painting something like a brake differential valve, the tape won't stick to the part if fluid is present. But with enough effort, there's not much duct tape won't fix. Definitely cheap, too! Thanks 73az...

Same here @dmoses, plus I’ve got an abundance of them in my shop on the floor, in the tool box, in the Bronco, in the F-150…Randy

Being retired military, I have a never-ending supply... Well, it will probably end one day, but I have a stockpile...
