most people just buy the kit that comes with the plate. Or you can just make it out of some 12 gauge sheet.

the problem is that I work for CHASE-PITKIN and they are going out of buisness so my 45.00 a week is gone. 250 dollar electric cut outs are out of the question. But honestly for 15 bucks and some work I think I can do it. I have tons of time after school anyways. I cut the pipe at a 45 degree angle and I will cut out the oval tonight. Hopefully I can weld it in the next few days. THanks for the input.

I can make a template for you of my block off plate, or a drawing showing the correct detail
