Gary Lewis Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So after reading the Facebook exchange regarding the firewall plates, I reached out to JBG and they confirmed that they have the plates in stock as of 5/18/2020. So I placed an order and we'll see what happens. Guess Keith wasn't quite fast enough. Again in the immortal words of Larry Verne: "Hm, you're a little bit late on that one, Charlie Ooh, I bet that smarts!" I'm sorry to report that I don't yet know the hole size for the bolts to hold the small plate on. I forgot to measure them before it went in the oven.

I'm not getting my hopes up until I have the piece in my hand and determine it's made to a solid quality standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reamer Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just meant JBG beat LMC to it, not your order. Would you like me to make these? Should not be an Issue, Would need either detailed drawings or an actual one to model... Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Just thinking it might be something for you to get into. Keith is going to be considering a source. So you could talk to him. But, you could sell them directly like Terrapin did. However, you might want to talk to Jason to see why he got out of the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably drilled for 8mm, but 5/16" will work. However, the one's used by when he installed it have been drilled out. My guess is that he only had two bolts, and they were 3/8", so that's what he used. Hope to get it in the mail tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, from your photo didn't have any bolts, and only used the studs already in the master cylinder! I think the bolts in the kit are SAE, although 5/16-18 and 8x1.25 are very close.
