Sorry Dave, got abit carried away there.


Would I be right in saying that these are essentially EGR blanking plates then?

no worries, Tom.

Our exhaust gas doesn't come 'out' through the hole, so we don't have EGR. We have air 'injection' when cold (aka secondary air).

Ok cheers, while having a look on ebay yesterday there seemed to be a few EGR blanking plates for about £7 and they looked a similar shape, so a possible lower cost way if they are the same fitments. Thats why I asked the question.

I think virtually any small plate could be redrilled to suit. (I'm using a flat plate with the original gasket with no issues.

Hopefully get some dimensions off phil and then see what the ones are like on ebay for size, then can be drilled to correct size. Amazing after their design process at profit their selling for 5-8 quid.
