Brake Pivot Post Replacement

Not sure how best to describe this but I'm changing from v-brakes to disc brakes on my daughters bike. When removing the v-brakes and the pivot posts I'm left with gaping screw holes with bare thread on the bike. Do any plaistic like caps exist to hide and protect these holes or am I best just to find an appropriate sized bolt and just put that in place?

Hope (and others) make blanking plugs."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Actually scrub that... just found some blanking bolts on CRC, not the frame colour but guess they'll do!0

So you have a frame and fork with mounts for V brakes and for a disc caliper? Didn't know such things existed...0

Yeah, it's a Spech Myka Sport she has so nothing flash but I guess in the maufacture process if they make everything compatible with all models for the Myka it'll save money in the longrun.0 -
I got some lightweight plastic blanking plugs from the Ikea free parts bins that work perfectly.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I suspect my ignorance is borne out of the fact that I bought my last mountain bike in 1998...0
