TST #5 plate question

[Tom C]

Can someone send or email me a outline tracing of the #5 plate. I currently have a #10 installed and want to modify my stock plate to a #5.

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

It wouldn't be easy even if you had the tracing. First, you have to get within a couple thousandths everywhere the rocker hits. Secondly, the Bosch plate material may or may not hold up when you grind that close to the rivet hole.

 

[Tom C]

May also be hard to grind and to grind smooth with primitive tools. More I think about it the harder is sounds to copy. Any one have one for sale?



Thanks



Tom

I doubt that you will gain anything going from a 10 to a 5 plate just different RPM's that things are happening as long as it setup right, the 10 plate is hard to beat and what Joe said about the measurement is correct.

TST will trade your TST #10 for a fee (I heard it's $50).

Trade for a #4 :--) or a #0. I did the #4 in a 215 pump ... obscene.
