Should have said so then.

3mm ally should suffice.

Just cut a piece of sheet steel,tin or aluminium the same shape as yor dumpvalve base plate and then bolt it in along with dumpvalve. Dumpvalve blanked off, no need for bungs etc and still looks factory

Costs nothing as you just use off cuts.

yep, though try and get it as flat as possible as you dont want to be overtightening the studs on the intercooler as you can very easily strip the threads as its just aluminium. but it will pull it flat

wee smear of silicone sealent between plate & dumpvalve also. dont need it on other side as you use the original gasket between intercooler & plate.

job's a good'un
