I'm making a few of the heating plates b/f Xmas. A PM works well.



Now I use a long radius elbow in place of the galvanized pipe fitting. I also weld hose bibs to the end of the tubes. It comes with a gasket. I should also note that the tubes no longer spread away from each other at suck an angle. I had to move them closer together so they would fit in the proper mailing box. It is finished with gloss black high temp paint.

I also have these stud kits, grade 8, with crimp nut and washers.

 

You sir are a good man!

 

I'll be sending you a PM for my 83.

 

do we have a price for these two items?

Thanks
Tracy

 

Hi guys and gals would any body know if the holes were already threaded where it mounts?

If so what thread size would it be? I'm gonna be ordering one this Monday hopefully I'm not to late.

 

PM me for more information. kevin

 

I'm making another batch of these for forum members. IM if you're interested.

 

that plate looks like on for a stock manifold not an offy........if its for an offy can i see a pic? cuz im lost

 

I don't have photos of one mounted. It is for the underside of an Offenhauser intake. When mounted the two hose fittings are pointing toward the right front tire.

In the photo below you can see one of the hoses connected to one of the tubes of the plate.

 

I've been looking into making the manifold out of aluminum.

 

You could use a 1/2" alum. plate and a nipple/elbow combination

Plate 8975K415
Fitting 53525K58

roughly 60 makes 3 plates plus your time to make them

 

Aluminum would be cool. Just curious though, what would be the advantages to switching?

 

I don't think there would any advantage to using a heating plate made of aluminum. I would certainly save on drill bits though.

 

I can see that.

 

Exactly, only gain is looks and a minor savings in weight. Oh and the mentioned machineability over steel plate.

I have toyed with the idea of making a heated spacer for the carb from something like this

Would keep the heater lines up away from the hot manifolds
