Title: WTB FE 1/4" Thick Block Saver Plate
Post by: frnkeore on February 01, 2024, 06:16:22 PM

The only one I could find is from Quick time and they are only 1/8" thick.

Does anyone have one or know where I can find a new 1/4" one?

I used "two" of the QuickTime plates. On the block side I used an unmodified plate while on the bell housing side plate I drew an outline of the housing flange interface and water-jet cut the interior away. To simplify later tear downs, using an empty block for alignment and solidly bolting the plate assembly to the flange, I tig welded the two together by tacking around the interior of the cut out plate. Proper spacing was achieved while limiting the overall weight.

Thanks for the idea but, I don't want to do that. I'm going to be welding to it and don't want the weld to only be on one half of it.

It will be part of a adapter.
