CB400F Alloy engine plates

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
Unless you get the correct grade of alloy they will fret and wear even with the bolts tight

taysidedragon:
You could use a strong alloy like Duralumin if you can find some. The plates will have to be thicker than the original steel ones to get the same strength.

MikeSB6:
Hello again,

    if anyone could draw around a spare plate and send me the drawing I could make an alloy version? I'd be happy to pay postage,

       Cheers, MikeJ

Dave487:
I could easily draw round mine as I've just had them BZ plated and not fitted them yet.
I'd advise at least doubling the thickness if you're making them from standard HE 30 alloy.

PM me your address and try and do at the weekend.

MikeSB6:
Hello Dave, thanks for the offer, I'll send it a.s.a.p.

   Titanium sounds posh Oddjob, but probably a bit hard to come by (and cut),

         Cheers, MikeJ
