Capping Brake Hose at Disk Brake

I will be removing the calipers from my '84 T/A.
What have u guys used to cap the brake hose end at the caliper connection?
I have some black rubber caps that i purchased years ago, but not certain if they will fit.
tried to post picture but for some reason system would not let me.

me, i put the hose into a water bottle and let it drain out.
Anytime i do brake hoses, i always flush / bleed the system with new fluid.

Re: Capping Brake Hose at Disk Brake

I work in parts at a dealership and I am always caught up on the newest tools from them or the tool trucks and these things are the hot new things to have. they are spring loaded rubber stoppers and they seam to work pretty good. I purchased a set myself and used them on my LS1 front brake upgrade and was able to keep my fluid mess to a minimum while I swapped the calipers and brass washers.

Shove a rubber valve stem in the hole, laugh all you want it works.
