Re: [MBZ] erg block off plate for 300td 123

I've seen members on Peach Parts advertise them.  I made my own from a
piece of steel, you only need two holes for the studs.  Don't use aluminum
can material, too weak and may break up and get sucked into the engine.

Everybody should have some 1/8 thick galvanized steel strap in 1 and 1-1/4 
widths in their shop. You can cut it quickly with bolt cutters and it has 1000 
uses. In this case, you select the width, drill the mounting holes, cut it to 
length (it's a lot easier to drill a 3' piece of steel than a 2 piece, so I 
always drill first and cut last), and make a gasket for it.
