Default aluminum spacer plate for a whipple SC?

ok guys i know it aint honda stuff so i posted this on the fab page. i am replacing the OEM Eaton SC on a 03 cobra with a larger unit from whipple. while setting the SC down on the intake i noticed the absents of room available for the fuel rails and injectors. well it turns out the whipple SC is .75 shorter than the stock SC and it requires a spacer plate. I have made up a poor mans template from tracing the bottom of the whipple SC. I just need it to be milled/CNC'ed outa 1/4 to 3/8 aluminum. then i can drill and tap the mounting holes. any one in MD that could fab it for me? thanks in advance.

there's isn't a phenolic spacer out there for this?

EDIT:
not sure what head you got on there.
not sure if this would cause the supercharger to hit the hood either.

no that spacer is for the 5.0, earlier mustangs, I need on for an 2003 4.6l cobra mustang. Totally different intake design. but thanks for trying.

yes we have thought of that, but have yet to find any one local or with a reasonable amount of driving distance that will do it. i have contacted several companies that have CNC or water jet machines and they want us to order 100 of them. i need just 2 ,thank you. i need info on companies that have the time and the machines necessary and that are in the MD DC VA PA NJ area. thanks again.

Good luck Zach. One option you could do is have BMC Race (the guy that made those flanges for the manifold we are making) make you those spacers. All you would have to do is send him the gasket and he should be able to do it. I can get in touch with him if you want.

when putting the whipple unit on, as seen in muscle mustangs and fast fords, it requires you to take the spacer plate off of the oem eaton unit. you have to lay a bead of silicone around it and bolt the charger on....idk what issue it was in but my buddy has it.....hope this helps
