I found a baseplate, a nice rust free one from a Performance Years member. It was from a late 70's T/A. I carefully removed the snorkel and then glass-beaded the entire baseplate. Painted it with VHT satin black epoxy paint. I attached Norwood's shaker lid brackets to the outer rim with a couple of screws and nuts, after carefully measuring and marking with it should go. I also had to move the square breather element hole to clear the passenger side bracket which was in the exact same spot.

Here's how it came out. Now I need to find that pesky 70-75 steel shaker hood.
