Buy some thick sheetmetal (about 1/8" or more so it doesn't warp at all) and make your own with an angle grinder. At least that's what I did when I needed some block off plates.

I made mine for $free.99. Scrap metal and some time was all it took. It's not as purty as some big city, slick talking plates, but they do the job all the same.

hmmm i would make my own but i dont own a angle grinder. maybe i could just use tin snips and a file. j/k but anyways yeah i would make my own but i dont have the grinder. i am going to have to fab some little parts but i will just go to a shop for that because it is going to be way less than the price of the angle grinder.

Actually you could do it with tin snips and a drill.. the plate only has to hold up to about 20 psi tops.. a piece of 1mm aluminum will do that easy and cut with tin snips, hell it can be a rectangle with holes drilled in it and your good it doesn't have to be the same shape as the flange itself.. :bigthumg: Just trying to save you some $...

hmmm sounds good. but i still dont hae a set of good tin snips. i got a new drill pres but my freaking tin snips have had it. they look like an alligators mouth wit all those bumps and grooves. maybe jerk racer and you have a point....or i could just buy a 95 lim and not need so many plates.
