Default secondary air pump blanking plates

Are the RCM/Cosworth blanking plates the only 'off the shelf' option or are there others out there?

we also have them available although they are a pain to do "in-situ" because of the turbo up-pipe, etc.........

Id read on naisoc about using actual subaru parts - 14754AA050 - but its only straight fit on one head, other side requires a bit of modding to the blanking plate for bigger bolt holes etc.

Save yourself £40-50 on blanking plates by having grub screws drilled in there.

Just cut two bits of alloy and use the original gaskets as its works a treat and is a very cheap option

If the engine is coming out, then tap the EGR ports on the back of the heads out to 1/8th NPT and use a couple of blanking plugs - will cost you less then a tenner if you have to buy the tap and 2 blanking plugs.
