Like title says.... i forgot to order these things and i need them asap, so i'm wondering where i would look in terms of a brick and mortar shop.

I've got some standoffs in my ITBs that have non-threaded holes in them through into the body. Just wanting to stuff them for now.

Sex shop? You'll have to whittle them down quite a bit

No but seriously I'd just browse through the hardware store until I find something that can work...keep in mind if you can find some kind of solid rubber/silicone tubing you could modify sections of it into plugs.

There are various ear plugs available at your local drugstore that would probably worked. I used some recently to plug a hole in SU carbs to test piston drop.

You can get foam, moldable silicone-- depends on what you are trying to do.

Thanks guys!

I don't know why i didn't think of the earplugs idea... that makes a lot of sense.

Probably would have never thought of it except my wife has explored every kind of ear plug known to man. She says I snore, and I'm beginning to think I believe her.
