Manifold block off plates

Does anyone sell block off plates for the intake manifold on an ongoing basis? I've seen them on ebay from time to time but can't find any now that I need some.

ACV,EGR(s4),MOP

I'm looking for a ACV block off plate as well at the moment.

I've been searching ebay, but they're only there every once and a while...

3mm aluminium plate + jigsaw + drill + 10 minutes = block-off plate.

Just out of curiousity.... where do you go to buy sheet metal/thicker metal sheets??? Really stupid question, but I've never had to buy it, so I don't know.

I just went to an engineering workshop and asked nicely if I could have a look through their scrap bins. I could've made 100 sets of block-off plates with what was there.

The last one your thinking is the Cold Start Assist block off plate. You don't need it, you can just leave the device on, but it looks much nicer with a plate. Who the **** needs cold start assist anyways?

Well they were on there last time I looked. There not now though. Weird.

This is on his site too:

New and unused items for the RX-7, including relays, Spark Plugs, racing block off plates, as well as recordings and brochures.
