Just the plate is a false economy... Buy the cooler kit, four dowty washers and grey sealant and follow the guide here :y

Sealant requires 24 hours to set before refilling with coolant.

Be prudent to change the thermostat and transfer pipe whilst you're there :y

If it's corroded the cover plate from the inside, the coolant needs replacing for the correct mix, as it will be corroding everything else within the cooling system, including oil cooler, matrix, radiator, block etc etc....
