Default cut off blockoff plate..

i was on the interstate the other day and my cutoff plate came off, i guess i didnt tighten them up enough. today i went to all auto parts places and two muffler shops looking for a plate to cap it back up, but no one had anything. besides an electric solenoid anything else i can do? i dont have access to a machine shop until aug. or this wouldnt be an issue..

you can always go to your nearest hardware store and pick up some sheet metal and some cutters and custom make one yourself. thats what i did for my egr and air block off plates. im pretty sure it isnt hard to make a cutout block off plate. itll all cost you about 4-6 bucks.

I don't think it has to be quite as thick as the plate that came with it really..thicker than sheet-metal though.
