Default O2 Sensor Plugs in Headers

I bought some pace setter headers this weekend, and it turns out i dont need to put any o2 sensors where the holes are in the headers because i only have one before the cat. And i need an o2 sensor plug but dont know where to go get one. Does any body know where to go get one online or at a store, and if there are different size plugs?

:EDIT:
Oh never mind guys i found what i was looking for at jegs

oh and btw, i got those pace setter headers over at summit racing, expecting them to be summit racing brand for 150 bucks... but when it arrived they turned out to be pace setters, good deal.

Did the same thing to my ramcharger a while back. I cut the pig tail off the old O2 sensor, screwed it in place and left it for 6 years. And it cost nothing

well if they're shorty's, then why do you need those plugs? and if they're pace setter, dont they have plugs with it.

If you haven't installed them yet, just take them into a hardware store and buy a plug that fits. You can find them in the plumbing section.

Plugs already came, fit perfectly. And regarding the hardware store plumbing section, ive tried that....i had two employees try and help find the right size, it didn't work because none of them were metric because the bolt is 18mm.

These are shorties and they are pace setters (has id tag and everything on the header) they need plugs because they are meant to be smog legal headers which require them to have o2 sensor holes in it, and they were not gracious enough to supply the bolts with the package so i had to spend 20 freaking bucks on jegs bolts.

Tomorrow or shall i say today (1am here) im gonna strip the paint off the headers with some klean-strip and paint them in silver (aluminum as duplicolor calls it) heat paint. Then have them installed on hopefully on the weekend by sunday. Ill keep you guys posted.
