Hi you are absolutely right, the plate is rubbish. I just kept my Leo Vince plate (3mm plate) which fits beautifully on the old exhaust holes as mentioned before. I am now making a copy of the LV plate, so the LV pipes can be used again. Much better and solid than using bolts and spacers etc. I'll do some pictures on the weekend.
