What is the proper orientation of the plate when installed?

Does the stamped side go toward the carb, or the block and does the stamped side with the angle go up toward the kill switch engine cover or down toward the ground?

It all made sense at first but the more I look and think about it and those 2 little holes now I'm wondering...LOL

Also would adding a plate affect carb. adjustment ?

The stamp goes to carb. The old style block ( carb sets staight on the engine)the stamp goes to the bottom left and the new style (carb is offset on engine) it goes to the kill switch.

thank you Jeff that explains why I have seen both way.

That was the problem with my engine not performing. I had removed the carb. and I put it back on wrong.

A quick note on the plates. Make sure you use the correct gaskets that fits the block you are using on your motor. Wrong gaskets install will make the motor run ill.

Which gaskets are you supposed to use . I need some for a backup engine and didn`t know which to get .

why are these plates so hard to get now? always on back order

Wandering the same thing . I need one and can`t find one anywhere .

Both Larry @ http://www.quarterscalemotorsports.com/ and Bob @ http://www.bullseye.9f.com/ have plates in stock !

Why is something that every 1/4 scale racer needs on backorder, I have (2) on backorder!!!...

I've been waiting since spring for a 10.5 plate, not that I need it right away, but still nice to have.

Who makes the plates ?

For Q.S.A.C. to get these at the price we do, it is used as filler work by the shop that makes them. This price is very very very low for the quality we get.:wave:

Who makes the plates ?

I am not sure of the shop but there is a chain we have to go thru to get these. We also buy in small quanitys and that means it is a lower priority for the shop that does them. Again this is just a small part of there work.:wave:

I just bought another 8.5 plate from Lightning last week...?

The Plates are complete and in transit, Mike at WRP should have them ready to be ordered and shipped out by the end of next week. but there are still plates out there for sale!

How much can you grind out of the plate and still be legal ?






















joking lol:wave:

You can't!

I have one or two extra 10.5 plates if anyone needs one at the QSAC race @ Freddie's.

Who makes the plates ?

Thank you to ED for building them and Thanks to Mike for all the heat you have taken over this, was not his fault!

No worries... I am still glad to help in anyway I can. Once i receive the plates I will ship out to all my customers who have purchased plates this past summer and I will have them in stock in my trailer for the guys in the Cornbelt Series in Iowa and in the online store for future purchases.

Mike no problem.It has been great working with you and Tony.I need to also say Brent and Mark.

Now i hope we have learned by.The first couple of orders.That the first, second or third guy to buy plates.Should not get by as many as they want.Then there is none for the rest of the members.Then we get guys selling them for up to $15.00. That is a very good markup.Mike and i don't have that luxury.

If I, Mike Willmann or Qsac said the price was $15.00.There would be world war 3.
If Mike Willmann and I have to sell for a certain price.Then that price should be for everyone.

Mike this is not directed at you.Personally or Because your a co-chair.:)

Just to the greed of some in 1/4 scale.Not sure if i am going make enemies or not.Just pointing out the facts.

Everyone have a good holiday

ED

Man, I should have raised my price. LOL $15.00 for a plate. Thats steap!!! :rolleyes:
Well you know it cost money to hall parts around to all the tracks (I know first hand). I would love to see a few more dealers at the tracks. If you are at the track or at home and need a part and can't get one from the MFG. you will pay a few dollors more to get it put in your hand. :thumbsup: Mike no problem.It has been great working with you and Tony.I need to also say Brent and Mark.

Just curious.Where in the QSAC rule book? Does it say that the plate can be modified.I looked but could not find it.

Thanks ED

What do you mean by modified. I didn't think the could be touched, the reason for the anodizing?

Joey

If you modify them you are cheating, that is why there anodized very easy to tell if someone has removed any material. Your right Joey

Thanks ED

You can't modify the plates!

Thanks Fred,MikeClark,Slider And RaceNut53.For the info.That is what i thought.I was under the impression.That there was not to be any thing on the plates BUT QSAC 8.5 or 10.5.So if there is anything else on them.That makes them illegal.If there is how do we know who to trust.When buying them.

Here is the rule:

QSAC 2010 rule book
CARBURETOR (11.22.07)
NOTE: All classes to run an 8.5 or 10.5 Restrictor / Adaptor plate. See class rules for further information. The plates will be mandatory at all QSAC sanctioned events for 2008 and beyond. It is strongly recom-mended that local clubs and tracks adopt this rule as soon as possi-ble. This will make the transition easier for everybody, because some-time during the 2008 season, the supply of our existing blocks will run out and all manufacturers will be forced to ship new cars with the stock Zenoah insulator block PN 1148-13161 and this new plate. QSAC Members and Manufacturers may purchase the plates from Mike Willman for $7.00 plus shipping. Since this is a mandated part, QSAC Members and Manufacturers will pay the same price.
