Plugging/Sealing off Coolant Level Sensor Bung

I've been running the Zionsville Aluminum expansion tank with a SPAL fan on my S50, and my Ti doesn't have anything to plug into the 6 cyl level sensor. It's just sitting in the tank as a place holder to plug it, but it keeps leaking slowly over time my sealant isn't holding up :-/

So I'm going to have it welded it and sealed off, it's this hole on the right with the threads, it serves no purpose on the Ti chassis

Got the same issue, thou I haven't installed my tank yet (still rebuilding 3.0L M50). I want to just find out the thread size and order a cap or a steel nut and weld it closed making a cap.
