Default Where to buy block off place for MAP Sensor?

On the back of the LS1 intake manifold, there is a big black plug with 3 ports (HVAC/MAP Sensor/Brake Booster). I would like to know where I can purchase a block off plate to block this? I am going to relocate these ports elsewhere. The only reason why I am asking is because the MAP Sensor/Brake Booster nipple are touching my firewall (1993 RX-7) and preventing me from mounting the LS1 intake manifold. I just need 1/4 inch of clearance and I'm good to go and I would rather not bang up my firewall.

Most hardware stores sell rubber plugs of various sizes, you could RTV or epoxy one of them in there. I don't know of anyone who makes a plug specifically for that port.

I recommend posting in the Hybrids section. There's a few guys that have done the RX7 conversions that can help out.

I had the same problem... no clearance.
I used a 2" expansion frost plug... fits in there really snug.. Just a few bux at checker.

My question for you is how/where are you going to mount your Map?

Thanks,
