Just got the Pacesetters hooked up and wondered if you can make your own block off plates from crap at Home Depot? Thanks

 

Yes. I just bought them from someone, and they were light aluminum. Just use 1/8" or thicker metal to prevent warpage, and gaskets.

The EGR block off plug they sold is a core plug. I used a rubber block plug. The put in and screw tight type...

 

yeah, like mentioned above. if you are going to home depot, buy some 1/8" by 1-1/4, or 1-1/2 flat stock and go to town

 

Thats what I did.

 

Its definitely possible, but for some, it is just easier to spend twenty bucks for some that are already made.

 

I thought they would be nicer/stainless/whatever. It was not 100% laziness.

 

Thanks guys im going to give it a shot today.

 

Just got done, it was just a pain in the neck and they look preety crusty, haha, next time ill just not eat at Hooters one night and order some.

 

I used a Dremmel and they turned out nice. The removed EGR makes for a great pattern.

 

Thats what my Dad did to make one for my "Elty Juan". He's pretty good with making things & is really mechanically inclined, myself on the other hand...
