Plugging water pump hole on timing cover?

Switched to a double roller and csi electric water pump... What's the most common method of plugging the hole left in the timing cover?

Thanks
Chuck

I used a 1 7/32" soft plug with anaerobic sealer. I polished the outside of the plug with emery cloth as it was slightly oversize.

Freeze plug, not the normal one though. Get the kind that look like the lense on a pair of glasses, (concave?) Search my user name (i cant member the size) but I found one that fits perfect. You need to lay it on the ground and just slightly flatten it with a hammer, put some RTV around the hole and tap it in. Mine fit REAL snug, not a leak in sight yet. Just take the t/c to the parts house with ya and ask em to let u go through the freeze out plugs.
