I would like to make some shorting plugs for the Mainline.
Some Places I see 75Ohms recommended, other Places 470Ohms.
What would be better? Is there a difference?

Using a piece of wire is just fine.

Yes, you can short the input or output of any of our kits (except maybe the Quicksand) without causing any damage to anything.
