just womdering if you can buy something it put over this o cover it up, or is it just better to make something?
just took all the engine covers off, and it doesnt look the best having a bug hole there. but i was thinking of buying one, so it can have something stamped on it,so it doesnt look boring. cheers boys, any helpwould be great

you can usually get a "5LITRE" plate to go in there, some AU's and all the american windsors had them, but the yank ones will be the wrong way around

The AU 5 litre plates are getting harder to get, might be easier/cheaper to make a plate out of aluminium sheet.

Yeah I hunted around and got a "V8 5.0 Litre" plate for it.
Makes the engine bay look a lot smarter. More common plates are the Synergy 5000, but I'd rather the "V8 5.0 Litre" plate. |

Was private. It wasnt in the best shape but it only cost me $20.
I'd like to find a good condition one so I can recondition this one. |

OOO another Explorer manifold.
Does the engine cover rattle at all offyaguts? I ask because the four bolts that hold it down at the rear are no longer there. |

Nah doesn't make a moise. Just the two bolts holding it down need to be done up tight so it doesn't move
