Exclamation Need help with EGR

Okay guys, so i bought Pypes LT Headers and these headers dont come with the threading to attach the EGR pipe to it. So I was just going to delete the EGR, I bought the delete kit and i was thinking **** i dont have any threading to screw the delete cap onto. I asked pypes the thread size of the EGR port on the headers and they said it is 13/16. So i went to almost five places today trying to locate a bolt that would plug the EGR port and i had no luck. Nobody has a bolt that size for me!! Ah so im getting really pissed. I even went to ford today to see if i could just purchase the EGR thread adapter that comes on the stock manifolds. That piece is suppose to just screw into the header said Pypes. So with that i could cap off the EGR port once i got the delete kit. Does anyone know where i could find a bolt with that size thread? Or where i can get the thread adapter that comes on the stock manifolds?

When i was at ford talking to the parts guy he said i could buy a monifold lol i laughed at him then gave him a blank face to let him know that wasnt funny ha.. although it kinda was, it wasnt the answer i was looking for.

haha yeah it is pretty confusing.. the headers dont have the male thread sticking out to screw the EGR pipe to. So i tried finding a bolt to screw into the port on the headers. BUT! i cant find a bolt with that size thread. I guess it is a really rare thread size. Pypes said the thread adpater from the stock manifolds would unscrew from the manifolds and into the lt headers. Right now i just wanna find a way to plug the hole so i can freaking turn my car on. IT IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING ME BACK FROM STARTING MY CAR!
