Don't buy them! I made mine out of 1/8" Alum. I have at work. It takes about 15mins to make one and its sure alot better than spending $10 each for them.

Oh yeah.. I found an old broken CD-ROM drive, and cut up the housing with a dremel tool, and used a bench grinder to smooth the edges down... It's not even 1/8", i bet.. Maybe 1/16... real thin, but since it's steel, it's pretty strong.. I cut up one of those sheet-gaskets to match it, and blocked off my BAC, EGR, and ACV. If you're worried about leaks, a bit of gasket-maker helps..
