I got mine at menards in the plumbing section. What i did was brought my old stock manifold into menards and tried caps until it fit. I think it was called a M22 drain plug or something like that, but dont quote me on that.

On the pacesetters, I had to uses these brass compression caps on the AIR tubes.



I tried using these galvanized caps but they wouldnt screw on, even though they were the same size. I dont remember the size though.
