I want to make a set for myself. No machine shops around here have them for the modular motors. All I need is someone with a tape measure and and a couple minutes to help me out.
Material thickness is really what I am looking for. Can figure out the rest.

If anyone could help me out, would really appreciate it!!

 

I've seen some b/f and I would say they are about 2-2.5 inches thick..

 

Thank you guys for the information!

MMR if you ever decide to need the thicker ones, let me know. I can CNC whatever you want.

 

How about making a set for the regular guy, like me, who can not afford the $800 price tag of the accufab set of plates or the $500 price tag for 1 BJH plate???

 

i know thats right!!!

 

As soon as I have time to work on them, I might look into that. Depends on how long it takes to make a set, material cost and such. If not too bad, I wouldn't be opposed to making some.

 

Ok newb here to mods. What is a torque plate?
Thanks Luke

 

Thick aluminum plates that bolt to a modular block. They simulate a head being bolted to the block to ensure the cylinders don't get distorted or out of round during the machining/ cylinder boring process. Or any other machine work that requires the block to be perfectly straight and cylinders to be perfectly round. That is my understanding anyway.

If this is incorrect, please correct me!

 

Alright learned something new today.
Thanks Luke

 

Actually, they don't keep it from distorting, they distort it just like it would be when the head bolted to it for the machining processes, so when you do bolt the head on, the bores are round and true and not distorted from the bolt torque pulling in the block.

 

That would be great!!! Let us know man!!!

 

I didn't really know how to describe what I was trying to say but that was basically it. Thanks for the help KB!

As far as making a set, I have to come up with a head to use. I sold the extra set I had. Need it for head bolt measurements to know where to place the holes in the plates. Hell, guess I need a block as well to make sure that they work after making them. lol
Will work on that when I can. Have a lot going on at work right now. When it slows down some, I will certainly work in it. Will keep you guys updated.

BTW, does anyone have a link to some pictures of the Accufab pieces or the BFJ? I have been looking and for some reason can't find anything.
