Capping off brake lines?

[JB21]

Refurbing all my callipers and need a way to cap off the lines whilst the callipers are off the car for a week or so, was thinking a m10 dome nut like the below on the end of the lines? Any other ideas appreciated.

@Niall what did you use mate?

Not sure the M10 dome nut is the same thread pitch

You need an M10 brake pipe female, a flaring tool and a bit of brake pipe squashed flat at one end, your local garage or motor factors should be able to knock them up for a few quid.

Can you not just wedge the break pedal down with a stick between it and the seat before you take anything off, once you open the bleed nipple and let the pressurised fluid out nothing else should then drip out while the pedal is down

Wedge the brake pedal all the way down, quite hard to do as you need something the perfect length.

As above @JB21, and then we used the rubber caps from my bleed nipples on the end of the lines, stopped it leaking. We did have a significant amount of air in the system when it was back together though, still don't fully know why, took a lot of bleeding.
