Most people remove the T fitting betwen them and insert a solid shaft of some sort into the hoses coming off of the valves.
I got a little carried away with mine. All hoses have been removed.
FYI, this requires the use of some steady hands. There are much easier ways of doing this.
I used a 5mm-0.80 tap and set screw. The size was right and commonly available. A #19 drill bit is recommended for this. I also suggest you tape off the bit to the length of the set screw. This way you will only tap it so far and you can bottom the set screw.
The set screw is flush with the tube for easy access. I chose blue loctite for this just in case it has to be removed. I also put a rubber automotive vacuum cap over the end. I try not to take any chances. Better to be thorough right.
Hope that helps.

cut a head off a 2 bolts and pull the lines off your valves shove one bolt in each line coming off the valve or plug it on the blow off line in the front of your nosecone, its the only hose coming off the solenoid
