Block off plate for Fuel Pump shown at left. Thanks Robert! Plate shows "Martin Marietta" stencil.
Aircraft Aluminum.
The plate after shaping, drilling holes, and tapping the threads for the TBI unit.  
This is a wooden spacer I put under the AFB to keep the heat from boiling gas over, when it was hot. I think I will keep it, and drill out spaces for the bolts, as well as opening it up where marked to get a smoother transition to the manifold. The butterflies in the TBI will clear, but I want to clean it up.
This is the TBI unit bolted to the plate, rear view.  
This is the TBI unit bolted to the plate, front view.  
You will notice that I polished the openings on this. (Jeweler's force of habit)
