Default Sidecar removal

want to remove sidecar for awhile and wondering about the best way to "plug" brake line. Put a plug in brake tee on bike, try to find a quick disconnect? If either of these where to purchase. Bike and sidecar are both 2002, bike FLHP. 122000 miles on bike and 6000 with s/c.

No ABS so that is not and issue. Plug it and bleed the system. It it going to be something you do often go with the quick disconnect. My new one is coming with it. From what I am told it will work fine even with the ABS.
