Question Blockoff plates... where to buy????

where else can I buy block off plates for my FC? I tried k2rd but they refunded my money b/c they are understocked... Help I'm in the middle of a swap and need these!

Just make it yourself it took me all of an hour to make 2 plates for my aux port actuators, and one for my ACV, all made of 1/8" aluminum. But if santiago wants to do his thing, greAt.

wtf, you could have made them by now, like i said, it took me an hour to make ALL 3, just put liquid gasket in between the manifold and the blockoff plate, its EASY.. and if you are blocking off the where the aux port actuators are, just JB weld a time in there, and that will hold that son of a gun in there.

hmm I'll look in to it dezerte, but the problem is I have a lot of sh*t going on, just between school and work I can barely scratch my *****! that's why I'm looking to buy a kit for like 30 bucks, but I'll see what I can do to make them... thanks dezerte, your avatar brings much happiness to my *****.

Not everyone has a dremel or cutoff wheels or anything though, so they wont be able to make their own.

Ah ok. I bought mine, mainly because I didn't want to have to make them.
