Pinto Inlet manifold take off elbow

I have two of the coolent pipes sealed off but I'm short of one, you can see the hole that needs sealing, has anyone got a spare elbow I can have to weld up, welded up the one on the right which seems ok, haven't got access to a tig set so can't just weld a plate over.

See picture below:



TIA

Regards

Rich

can you not use a blank end from the plumbers merchant?.
its a std pipe thread so a blank/stop should be available,

IIRC I've fed my crankcase ventilation into that hole. Seems to work ok!

Either measure its rough size i.e 1/2" BSP..

Or take the (brake servo?) fitting off thats to its right in the picture as it looks the same size?.. and take that to the merchants and ask them for a plug to match.
