Ooohhh I made a bunch of these plasma cut from 3/16=94 plate steel =
several
years ago for my spitfire friends J Back when I had access to a plasma
table.
Let me go check in the garage tomorrow evening and if I still have some
left, I will send you one free=85 =20
I can tell you the 3/16=94 steel will not warp and leak from experience.

Subject: [Spridgets] An aluminum question for the engineering/machinist =
type
out there
=20
So I want to make myself a fuel pump block off plate for my 1500. The =
car
has had an electric pump on it since before I got the car but the shop =
that
put it on for the owner at the time simply gutted the mechanical pump =
and
bolted it back in place to cover the hole. Time to clean it up.
=20
The question is this. I was original thinking of making one out of =BC =
inch
aluminum but looking at a variety of aluminum block off plates online =
they
seem to generally be made from thicker stock. Would =BC inch tend to
deform/cup/warp over time and leak? I=92m fine with using thicker stock, =
I=92m
just wondering if it=92s necessary. I know that some people use the =
chromed
steel fuel pump block off plate for the big block Chevy on the 1500, but =
it
doesn=92t fit the opening correctly and just doesn=92t look right to me.
=20
Thoughts?
