Default Part ID required please

Hi
Whilst modifying my manifold I managed to snap off what lloks like a plastic valve of some kind on the EFI inlet manifold.

Can anyone identify the correct description for this part (in the pic attached) and where I could get a replacement? It looks as if it maybe just a press/retian fit in the housing

Thanks
Matt

That was my first impression too.

Yes, it's a blanking plug. Don't think it was for the servo, my car was fitted with a servo but it had one of those blanking plugs too. Think it may have been some sort of test port? You don't need it anyways.

tap it to m8
a bit of loctite or thread sealant and it shouldn,t leak air or fall out
i know the purists will be along in a minute and say you need a 6.8mm
hole for m8 but but if you have a tight 7mm hole i,d have a go at that
after all you are just blanking a hole
if you are really keen go the next size up and drill and tap m10 with a fine pitch etc
but i know what i would try first
cheers
