Does anyone have specs/sizes/dimensions for a torque plate?

If not, can you help with some general guidelines?
- what height should it have?
- what bore sizes should it have?

Use head gasket as a template in auto cad. Make if from alloy and around 2 inches will be fine. Design it up in auto cad and take the file to a workshop with a cnc mill, job done.

That's the plan, only I don't have the gasket yet, but I have the block, but that's harder to move around... so I thought I'd ask first.

Thanks for the offer, but I can probably have it done for half that price over here (Hungary).
