I stumbled across the blanking plates for the WIC slots on the Cisco price list the other day. Believe it or not, they are 36 quid (50 dollars). Ridiculous price and that's for the small ones. I've got a few knocking around that I wouldn't be cheeky enough to charge for, but I'm in UK, I take it you are in US Craig. If someone has them locally it may be easier, but if you're desperate, where there's a will there's a way.
