I'm about to replace my base 718 Cayman calipers with the GTS calipers (and rotors for the front). To avoid have all the brake fluid drip out and having to bleed the system, I believe there is a plug I can use on the line.

Anyone know the specs for this plug so I can order one, or have a link?

Thanks everyone for your input. I will definitely be bleeding the system, I just have to do this in short sports over a few days, so I didn't want to run my brake fluid reservoir dry and have all the fluid drip out.
I got this plug set from Amazon and it worked perfectly, pic attached.

Get a Motive Pressure Bleeder. You fill the bleeder with one or two quarts of fresh brake fluid, screw on the lid, attach it to your brake reservoir, pressurize the system, and bleed away. Use one quart if you're just bleeding the brakes and use two quarts if you're flushing them completely.
