Temporarily blocking up M10 x 1.00 caliper hole

[Jakg]

Is there something (cheap) I can buy to seal where the hose goes into a caliper in storage?

I've got some through-couplers with a whole in the middle I use for blocking them up when painting but would like something without a hole.

They are used and off the car so have some residual fluid in them - I don't want to pull them out of the box in 6 months to find the fluid has leaked out and eaten the paint off them.

I'm sure there's a better name...

You can buy tapered plugs in that size, so yes.

This was really obvious and I didn't think of it...

M10x1.00 pitch bolt and a copper washer.You’ll also keep the land area clean of paint for the banjo washer to seal against. Or use the Banjo bolt with a stack of washers if you’re pushed.

If you want something without a hole it's not all that obvious, it's just gonna leak the fluid out just the same...plus it might damage the seat for the hose depending on the style of hose fitting.

As above, not the best idea as it has a hole through it & a different seat.
