Im not saying you're stupid for making your own plate. All i was saying is that for most (search plenum) it is just easier and more cost effective to buy from Hughes or APS. I would love to have my son out in the garage with me...if he wasnt only 9 months old and I live in Alaska with a cold garage. He will definately be out there with me when he gets older!

i found a good use for the stock steel plate. a guy on DT was talking about making spacers to put under the hughes plate using the same bolts for it and using the steel plate as a splash shield to keep the hot oil from warming up the bottom of the hughes plate
be sure to use shorter bolts also
