You may want to do something similar.
Thanks for the FYI. I'll be sure to have have some scraps close by in case we need to get another bite on the engine. Gone are the days where I could use a couple of sheets of 3/4 sheathing ply for something like that. Plywood and lumber in general is like gold now!
