Default EGR block off plate

Hey guys i am looking to buy a plate or a plug that will block off the big hole where the EGR goes into the intake manifold. I just intalled headers and need to cover that hole. Anyone has one for sale or know where I can get one??

Thanks

rubber freeze plug. You can get one at any hardware store, or you can find billet block off plates.

Made my own by cutting the actual tube out of the EGR peice (but keeping the flange that bolts to the manifold. Then I just took a little peice of tin cut to size and RTV'd it in place, works like a charm.

I used 2 spark plug gappers. One to fit over the hole and the other sitting at a 45 degree angle bolted down to the unit over the hole. It works for now but it's very ghetto.
