brake line cap?

Hi Folks,

I am planning to take the calipers off to clean it up and rebuild. The caliper will be off the car for a few days before putting back on. Is there brake line cap that I can put on to stop fluids from dripping empty when calipers are disconnected?

I have some that came with the stoptech brakes when I bought them and I've kept them to reuse they're brilliant. Look like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/333445478028. You could probably mcguyver up something similar if you can't source them locally
.

If you buy some stainless lines they might include them

cool. those plugs looks reasonable.. Can you make some measurement on your stoptech plugs so I can get the right size ones?

(was really tempting to ask if I can borrow... but probably should just get a set for myself)

i've never used these, but i've seen clamps that go on either side of the banjos.
