If so, just sacrifice existing ones w/ simple crimp/pinch over using vice grip/clamp.
If not, simply use rubber cap or plug i.e. vacuum cap/plug. Then wrap w sandwich baggy or shrink wrap for good measure. Might lose a drop or two over very long period but minimal in my experience and all sorted upon full flush at reinstall... and considerably less than is lost upon removal of caliper
. Lore will have you Saran Wrap reservoir cap too but you've got big issues w braking period were that necessary

| see below Rubber caps dont work very well. (BTDT) grant - 7 years ago |
rubber caps do not work, because the flare fitting requires compression to seal. Putting it just over the flare itself is partially successful, but i'd like better.
A cap can work temporarily, but not if, for example, I want to take it off for a few days while i work on it or get parts. Taking a chance of air slowly entering the ABS pump is just too big a chance to take.
I have no plans to replace the lines I have. I plan to order two of the cheapest I can find ( or get take-offs from a local shop).
Either way, what i want to confirm is the thread and flare spec.
Thanks,
Grant
