Make one.

Take off the omp. trace it on to a piece of alluminum from the hardware store. cut it out with a dremmil or something. drill bolt holes. and put it back where you found the omp.

It'll take 20min max.

I couldn't find anyone selling them, so this is what I did.

wow, you should see alex-7 work a dremel tool, or a ratchet for that matter, he really works wonders.
the best gasket material i have found for the omp is that yellow folder paper material with a very thin layer of silicone, absolutly no leaks.

I've grown tired of typing the explenation that you do all my work for me while I drink beer and hand you tools.

So for future reference, to those on this forum. When I say I did something, I actually mean midwest 7's did it while I was close by.

yeah make it, even better yet go to goodwill or other thrift store (cheap)and buy a aluminum pan or sumtin aluminum and use it. I used the factory gasket as a template and template for my new gasket(gasket material).

it dosent take but a few mins like the man said. do it yourself.

I am about to have a bunch of block-off plates CNC Laser Cut in Stainless Steel, so if there is interest I can make some for the early OMP, too.
