thanks destruct- o
I had thought of that first off when we were outside in -10 at night trying to install it (The wonders of a new part and the need to install it, no matter the time of day

)
I had marked where the proper holes were supposed to be on the plate, but it was sketchy, as the maf had some machining in the surface (which were probably of little concern but I was worried about a secure fitting) and then the old holes would expose more to a possible leaking. I'm kinda torn now...I can order a proper brand name one for a couple dollars more, but it's 4 weeks out on shipping, which, by now would have almost been here lol. Or I could wait and just build one when the temp warms up...I'll probably just suck it up and order the one thats 4 weeks out...at 20 bucks it seems better to pay the cash ten to make it by hand. I really want to see a 22re maf to see the fit and difference...
