Default LS1 intake EGR plate/cover?

I've got an LS1 intake on my car and I've got a freeze plug in the hole where the EGR used to be. Anyways, I remember seeing someone selling a plate/cover that would fit in that area and screws into place. Anyone know where I can buy one?

BTW, I've tried searching this forum and had no luck so don't tell me to use the search button.

I think I got it from either O'Reilly or Autozone, but it's a 'rubber expansion plug' 1-3/8"

someone has to know what plate/cover I'm taking about...I remember some guy on here selling them a while back, you could get them w/ 'LS1' engraved on there, or the bow-tie, arrowhead and so forth.

Don't know - but saw a thread somewhere that said you can use the block off plate used on the trucks GM PN 12558346 - have no clue what it looks like or works though.

the picture is not showing up so I'm just going to describe mine to you

basically it's a rubber stop w/ a metal plate on the bottom and top, there is a screw that goes through the rubber stop connecting the two metal plates (top and bottom), therefore when you stick the rubber stop into the EGR provision hole and start to tighten the bolt on top of the metal plate, it causes the rubber stop to expand, therefore it creates a tight seal

dont suppose you have a part # for this thing? Some one mentioned autozone, so we just ask for an expandable 1 3/8"s plug?

Thunder racing sells a EGR block off plate for the manifold. Looks just like the end of EGR tube except capped.
