I have a box of #14 5/8" pan head self tap screws.  Used screws 
from the same box almost exclusively
for fuel return lines over the years.  Just screw into a short segment of 
hose.  The caps were once available as a replacement part (I remember buying
several in the early 80's.  Last time I checked, mid-90's, they were not 
available.  Having the screws flopping around always bugged me.  

For the return hose, VW has always sold it by the meter.  A couple of parts
places I've dealt with have tried to sell it "pre-cut" at several times
the VW parts price.  Go figure.

If you buy it by the meter, you'll have a 2" segment leftover which you can
sink a screw into.
