plastic thread plug
Trying to get something to blank the 7/16” seatbelt mounting bush tubes on my roll hoop but had a good search on ebay for things like thread protector
plugs etc. but not coming up with anything. I know the spray painters use these to mask off internal threads but what are they called and where can I
get some? :-)
If it ain't broken, fix it anyway (just because).

Our metalwork painters use bits of rolled up cardboard to plug the hole and protect the thread - simply pulled out when finished.

ordered!, looks way better than plastic plugs (and who cannot resist a bit of annodised machined metal!)

Very nice!
I treated myself to some anodised Aluminium bolts before for my bicycles (used in non load bearing points). As Craig says a bit of machined metal can
be strangely enticing

Do you need to put anything in there?
With those are fitted it should prevent stuff getting in there.
