Back in the 70's I had an MGB. I removed all that garbage (a properly
tuned and maintained car doesn't polute anyway) and found that I could
get standard plumbing pipe plugs the right size and thread to plug all
the holes. Including the holes in the intake manifold from the pump
system, which were much more of a concern than any hole in the exhaust.
