Txakura Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 No one looked at the phenolic link? You'd think phenolic would take the temp and chemical environment. Not sure if it would save much weight, got to agree there are easier ways to do that. I wonder too if the bellhousing heat is being overstated? Got no science behind that, just throwing it out there.

Txakura Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hey bud, I need your 'permission' to view the google docs. What did you find for any temps you might encounter and the limits of what you're working with? Kind of thinking a partial melt and shift could be really really ugly. What is the initial material size prior to cutting this part? 12"x18" for example, what am I starting with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 I heard it was something like 20x20.But google docs? they are simple jpegs and an excel spreadsheet. weird. Ive been hearing conflicting things about hdpe or any of the various plastics.Some say that HDPE gets soft at 180*F and melts at 250*F,While others say it melts at 180*F.Various stuff like that..

alpinebarry Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I can get the aluminum EA/EJ addapter plates for 100$ untapped. Pm me. It's worth your time to just buy one. Plastic isn't hard enough and won't last long enough with the heat I would say. Prwa . Hi prwa, I'm in Australia . Know of any adaptor suppliers over here. If not how can I source one from you?.Barty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey Barty, you can email me here and we can figure something out for you! Prwa101@gmail.com i can ship to Ausi but it may be a little costly (ofcourse i havnt gotten a quote yet) and if you knew other people over there to make a larger order that would cut down on cost for shipment.

Uberoo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 So UPS lost the plate.Its been over a month and no sign of it even though UPS claims it was delivered on a wednesday(when no one was home, or was there to sign for it) just "left" on the rug..Maybe its a sign?

El Presidente Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yes Uberoo, it was a sign: Use the rug as an adapter plate. Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloyale Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 You'd be better off with a stock of washers around each bolt for a spacer.....and no plate. It's a sign........drivetrain parts should be metal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 So it seems that the best course of action right now is have the upper holes on my old steel adapter plate milled out by the local college,my money more or less evaporated after loosing a job and buying a new phone. . Oh well, Ive gotten used to doing things on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
