What to use for shorting pins on balanced amp?


I recently purchased a used ARC 100.2 power amp and currently only have single ended interconnects. I am new to balanced connections. In order to connect the amp using single ended interconnects I am supposed to insert shorting jumper pins. The unit was not supplied with any. What can I use to short the pins out until I get my new balanced interconnects? What would happen if I don't install the shorting pins and connect the amp to single ended interconnects? Thanks for any assistance I get in advance.

Any piece of solid wire between 12-22 gauge whichever fits snugly. bend it into a "U" shape. That's what I use in my Gamut amp.
