Just ordered a Blanking plate, but it won't be here till Tuesday.
How did you chamfer the butterfly flap? I'm already making plans to clean this out properly as it needs it.

Also, can anyone confirm that the Throttle body is held on with 3 T30 torx bolts?
Mine had one, and 2 10mm bolts, which I found odd and tricky to remove.
