    The base plate is 1.15" thick so it should be stable enough not to warp when torqued down. I had to trim it down to narrow it to fit between the thermostat necks, and cut the hole for the blower air and mounting hardware. Still need to drill and tap vacuum ports.

    With that blower, why vacuum ports?? Or is it hollow and I missed that?
