    What thickness is that steel sheet? Looks to be about 12 ga. from here. And if so the both of those together should weigh approx 9-11 lbs. Does that sound about right?

    That sounds right indeed.

    This was a spur of the moment idea lol.

        I believe it, I mean this on my car was spur of the moment. I wanted to do it on my first e30 but never did, and it just popped in my head last night and I made them lol.

          And row, if you want my cardboard template for the engine bay plates I'd be more than happy to give it to you. Saves you all the time measuring lol. I only had to grind the very inside part like 2mm so the core support would slide on without hitting it.

                                          Anyway I emailed VAC about my headgasket and am waiting for their response. But I just picked up these guys today!

                                          New parts always feels good. But nothing can happen until I get that damn head gasket.
