Hi,

yet another possably obviouse question.

Wheres the best place to get the matal plate which goes between a type 9 and a pinto engine?

Took my engine out today and managed to stand on mine and it snapped

Thanks for the help

Blob of weld and grind back, once it's on it's sandwiched anyway. Failing that a scrappies I suppose.

Regards

affectionately known as the sh!t plate coz it keeps the sh1t out the bell housing/gearbox

I thought it was because they are as rare as rockinghorse sh1t because:
a) people stand on them and break them
b) they get left behind when you buy type 9 from scrappy
c) somone buys them all from scrappy at silly price to resell

Its a fret plate to stop the engine and gear box faces fretting, Doubles up as a sh*t plate,
