Im not exactly sure what the name of it is, but its the plate that alot of guys seem to make out or aluminum to cover up the coolant resevoir and hook latch area. First, ,what the heck is that called, and second does anyone have like a template to make one. I have access to sheet aluminum or steel and the tools needed to cut it, but i dont know how to go about measuring or making the plate. How did yall do it? and no i dont wanna pay like 80$ from some company for one since i can do it myself.

 

just... measure it... and make it...
you answered yourself by stating what you didnt want to hear.

maybe.. use cardboard first to make a template?
