hmmmmmmm:?? There is a strong likelihood that we have one of the those infamous wacky English descriptions like "Boot" "petrol" and "Bonnet"
The South Sandwich Plate or Sandwich Plate is a minor tectonic plate bounded by the subducting South American Plate to the east, the Antarctic Plate to the south and the Scotia Plate to the west.

Only at myself. Joking around is always encouraged, but since I wasn't sure if Mark and Don knew James personally I thought I'd play it safe. I'd hate for newer members, or long-time members for that matter, to hesitate to ask questions if they feel they may get made fun of. The vast majority of members don't post on the forum.Does DANG ever laugh?
So what are you looking for?
sandwich plate usually refers to a plate that goes in between the oil filter housing and the oil filter so that you can tap into it for say, additional sending units, turbo oil feeds, etc.

No teahead Alfa uses " sandwich ' plates between the engine and gearbox. I only know about those because I don't work on much else other than BMW;s, Alfa's and Porsche

I think I’d call it the “backplate“ but there isn’t a removable plate on the M30 - gearbox just mates direct to the block.
