Anti dive units

On my '86 I have just replaced the original rubber brake hoses with SS braided lines where I bypassed the Anti-dive and connected them directly from Master to the calipers,
at the same time I have replaced all the rubber in the Calipers and installed new pads.

I am curious to know what those of you that have done similar have done to the open brakeline port of the Anti-dive, have you left them open or plugged them somehow?
I know, I am too lazy to look for the answers here in previous posts....

I probably should have said that I have left the Anti-dive units on the forks but only the Brake line ports are open now and the question is if I should plug them or just leave them open like that, I am not planning to remove them or install block-off plates

I have found my ansver here  http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=7649.0 
In other words, simply leave them on with the brake line ports open / diconnected  :yes:
