Does anyone know if it is easier to cap off the line with this tank if you've done the TBH bypass?

Reservoir has the same amount of nipples on it. So the line from the intake manifold nipple to the reservoir = same setup.

It would be sweet if you could replace the nipple with a bolt. I'm currently using a short piece of hose with a bolt and a clamp and have noticed it started to develop a small leak.

Why not just put a rubber cap and clamp on it?
That, or have the aluminum nipple tig welded closed.

I couldn’t find a rubber cap at the time. I know I could weld it, I was just hoping maybe they made it customizable in that aspect.

but I like your ideas either way.

I run a 5/16 line from the intake manifold to the reservoir. I have a black thermal spark plug boot protector over the line where it sits above the exhaust manifold. I have that setup on 3 D2’s and it works excellent.
