Default AIR block off plates

If someone has some free time would you mind measuring your plates and providing the dimensions (height/width/distance between bolt holes/etc). I have some Pacesetters with this junk and figured I'd make some at work while the car is down. Thanks!

Y don't you just go buy a 1'x1' piece of sheet metal and trace the gasket onto the sheet metal. Than cut it out with tin snips and use a bench grinder to clean up the edges. And your done. No need to make something so simple a complicated thing. It's pretty easy to do. Tookme about 15 min.

In this instance simple is making them when I'm here and car is down at home. This way negates an additional trip to a store when all the utensils and tools are readily available and my disposal here.

I made mine by a pencil-rubbing from the AIR "spider" flanges,
and a bit of aluminum flat stock using hand / bench tools
(hacksaw, flat file, drill). Mild steel would do as well.
