Chain drive front engine plate - No longer needed!

Post by Scrumps » Thu Sep 09, 2021 8:48 am

Hi,

Does anyone have a chain drive front engine plate hiding somewhere that I could purchase please?

Preferably U.K. but willing to pay shipping if the total price is sensible.

I’ve just stripped SWMBO’s ‘42 MB engine down and Bubba has been at the plate with a grinder and welder and it’s not in a good condition!

Will even accept an “F” marked one - I can always weld over the mark and grind it back! :lol:

Many thanks (in advance)

Hi Adam,

I’ve checked the auction site and the good one is about $50 but they are quoting $85 for postage!

I would rather give my money to a G503er but I think that postage figure is a bit high as I also pay import duty on the item & the postage!!!

I think I’ve found one in Europe but it’s still going to cost me nearly £100 ($138) by the time it gets to me!!

Its an option, for me on the east side of PA, to ship you a plate, wrapped in bubble wrap, 8 lbs, its 90 bucks postage alone, usps, so he probably gets the ebay discount on postage. post is stupid anymore.

Adam.
