Anyone know if there are "Blind Plugs" that I can insert in place of these two old unused electric fan sensors which are now starting to leak.

Both on the thermostat housing. Also I'm not sure if all the sizes are the same - M12 1.5 appears to be the size of the other sensors - ??

Is that the same size as a wheel bolt?
Cut it down to suit :D :D

Plenty of plumbing plugs that size

Just put M12x1.5 blind plugs in google and lots came up, Not sure if both are same size though?
