Weight for Balance Brass High Clamp Force T-Plate Mount
Machined threads allow for higher clamping force on T-Plate to prevent shifting during high g-force cornering. Application of high torque to stock self-tapping screws to prevent shifting of T-Plate often lead to stripped screw holes.
Double length aluminum T-Plate Mount with four interlocking tabs to insure precise alignment with chassis. Alignment of T-Plate mount is achieved through interlocking the holder to the chassis alignment tabs instead of self tapping screw torque.
Countersunk screws are inserted one adjustment after the T-Plate screw hold. Therefore, chassis with stripped hols for the T-Plate can be salvaged with this T-Plate Mount since it uses a different hole location.
Installation Instructions:
- Note that since the T-Plate mount is double length, only the forward two T-Plate positions can be used on the chassis. (This is usually not an issue since the forward two positions are enough to accommodate pretty much all bodies).
- Install the two countersunk screws to ho0ld the T-Plate Mount onto the chassis. Do not over tighten the self-tapping screws, or the hold on the chassis may strip.
- Fasten the T-Plate onto the holder with two machine screws. Be sure the machine screw threads protrude past the T-Plate Mount when the screws are seated. This will insure full thread engagement. Machine screws can be torqued tighter than the self-tapping countersunk screws to securely fasten the T-Plate. Take care not to over torque the machine screws.
- It is advisable to test fit the T-Plate on the holder with the machine screws first to verify that the machine screw threads protrudes past the holder. A minimum of one (1) thread protrusion is recommended.
