If the EGR is the same as my Midget, the thread holding the
lower part in is the same as a spark plug. You can cut up a
spark plug and put it in. (Or put in an O2 sensor and actually
use it to help you tune the car).
As for the other (intake) end, it's not under the same heat
so just using the fitting but welded shut works fine.
