Default Stack CAI Question

I have a 04 3.9 and I just purchased a Stack CAI from American Muscle to put in. Everything is pretty cut and dry except for the whole air intake temperature sensor. My Stang doesn't come with a seperate sensor so now I have a hole in the CAI on the backside of my MAF sensor. I have tried to contact American Muscle but I have a better chance of winning the lottery it seems. Has anyone here experienced the same issue, and if so what did you do to resolve it? I have thought about getting a bolt or something to mount in there to plug it, but I have the fear that it will get worked loose and something will end up inside my engine that shouldn't be there. Any suggestions/comments/feedback is appreciated!!!

I put a bolt into the rubber peice. It was just a bit bigger then the hole, but it managed to thread into place. Later I put a aircraft sealant of some sort, idk my dad brought it to me and said I better go get it on, it dries in about 6 hours once you mix it lol

But the bolt was working just fine before, just used sealant as an extra.

if you go to Ace or similar location and bring the rubber piece with you they might have a plug that will work.

AmericanMuscle has their own vendor forum on this site. AMChrisYoung is on it quite frequently. So anytime you can't get a hold of AM, you could post there and he will take care of you.

Just for future reference.
