Anybody have one or know where to buy just the plate?

Thought I'd ask before we break out the plasma cutter and 3/16th sheet steel.

Hmmm, maybe Lakewood, sold by Mr Gasket.

http://go.mrgasket.com/pdf/bellhousing_accessories.pdf would be a good place to look for the number.

I bought one through Jegs and then decided that I don't need it. It's brand new, never been installed, with the knock out plate still in place and the two million bolts it comes with still in the bag. I will be sending it back to Jegs. If you want mine, I will send it to you at my cost-no charge for shipping since I am going to pay shipping if I send it back to Jegs. If you would rather, just order it directly from Jegs. I found it in their online catalog. I think it was about $75, plus a handling charge. You can e-mail me if you want at tedixon@dixonlaw.biz.

Hmmm, are you using the shield without the block plate????

Also, the newer shields use larger bolts than the older Lakewoods.

I decided to go with a GM aluminum bellhousing instead of steel bellhousing - no block plate required. I have no idea which steel bellhousings the new block plate will work with. The Jegs catalog said it is the same part that is supplied with their bellhousings.
