[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 149246, member: 3426"] I was on there ordering parts a few days ago. I grabbed the two steel plates I have with the idea of jotting down some measurements. Then comparing what I find to a drawing I have for some other locally made plates which are different than mine. Without even getting out the the measuring instruments, I can see a difference between the two plates. One is an original speedo side plate and the other is a new ordinary plate ( no speedo hole) from VOC Spares. The bosses for the shoe pivots are at different heights. I was told the VOC Spares plates are made from the original stamping die, but not sure about the shoe pivots that are installed ( riveted?) in them. So… now the question is, should they be different? Is the one with the speedo hole supposed to have higher bosses than the rest? I need to clean the paint off the new one and measure the boss for the cam. If it’s not higher by the same amount as the pivot, then the shoes would end up being cockeyed. Think I’m just going to $h@#can the whole drawing thing and figure out the measurements as I assemble everything. Just drill the holes, dry fit everything and shave the bosses down until the shoes are centred ( depth wise) in the drum. Might take a few goes. I don’t think there needs to be a difference in the speedo plate unless I’m missing something. There should be a difference between the pivot and cam bosses. The cam boss needs to be lower by the thickness of the flange on the end of the cam in order to keep the shoes parallel.
