FWIW... the Teague 'block-off plate' does not work the IMCO extension box. The plate is too wide and will not fit into the key hole.

Today I am going to work on trim lines and pump.

Does anyone have suggestions on reconnecting the ground wires to the back plate?

I will post more pictures as the project continues.

Thanks for the pics... Hard to believe a few sights want your money to see how people do things and progress on there projects!!!

Call Dave @ IMCO and ask.

I called IMCO and talked to both NV and CA. Dave said they no longer make them.

Teague is also cheaper than Merc but a lot thicker!! I really would have a hard time grinding on that beautiful billet part!

I made one call during the project and when I hit that brick wall with the plate I was going to call..... BUT MY F'ing iPhone's screen WENT DEAD!!!! I had to get a new phone Saturday night. I did not want to leave the housing just hanging there. So I am now going to attack this pate from the inside.

Trust me you'll never look at it again grind away. If you have your Y pipe still use it as a pattern If you feel uncomfortable grinding on it I'll be in Ellisville in the morning I'm fine with throwing sparks.

I picked up the thinner Merc block off plate and a can of Merc black paint. It looks like I will have a to trim a little going off the Y pipe.

This part is not a problem... I guess I am just a pu$$y when it comes the fine metal work.

We're going to be in Nashville for a few days and the nice part is in MI hopefully with its new owner. I just picked up the Merc plate and hopefully I will grid it this morning.

Next time you are let me know and I will meet you at the Mr. Fuel. We keep the boat is just a mile or two down the road from there.
