CHEAP Beckson 4'' Deckplate

I found this off Google.

http://www.beckson.com/dp40.html

It's about 2 dollars for shipping for each plate ordered and the plates are 4 dollars each. Has anyone ordered them off this site?

I purchased one with holes, as per the how-to write-up. I have not installed it though I have been in SO CAL for work.

Doesn't really matter since they get RTV'd in place anyway.
Either one would work just fine since there is no positive pressure behind it.
.....only issue may be the shear force on the RTV when you screw the deckplate in and out.

Just drill holes in the ones without and use a larger bit to countersink them a bit in the plastic and voila.
