Default Cutting tunnel plate when installing headers

I have read almost every post on this form about installing OBX headers.
I think I have it figured out. I have access to a lift for 5 hours on Saturday and I have to plan every step to make every minute count.

One thing I was hoping to do ahead of time was to cut the tunnel plate.
I will be bring a hack saw and a hole saw. But I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the modified plate before the headers were installed.
Or if the headers were already installed any picture that will show the mod would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jay B

Do you mean by cutting the tunnel plate by making holes for the 02 sensors?

CCA, sells the LG tunnel plate w/ holes allready drilled in it. They are a vendor here on the forum , click on their add to the left of this page.
I have the LG long tube "pro's". I drilled the holes myself in the stock plate. If you want the measurements that I used, feel free to PM me.
