Default Brake banjo fitting block-off?

Going to pull some calipers and want to seal off the banjo fittings at the end of stainless steel lines to keep from losing fluid and getting air in the lines. Anyone got a neat trick or know of a plug I can buy?

Get an old set of rubber lines, cut them, insert a plug, then thread the other end onto the stainless flex lines.

All you need is a bolt and nut and 2 crush washers, use the crush washers from the original banjo bolt (you should replace them when you put them back anyway)
