firewall reinforcement plate...
Checked the dealer today...so Terrapin is the only source? Really hate having to wait on it and I'd much rather spend $15 than $34...just figured I'd ask to see what my options are. I only need the small plate...

The bigger plate is really worth the extra money...... the little plate doesn't do much.
Hell, the maker of those plates has a small factory on in his own truck, and his firewall is still cracked!

Alex City is about 45 minutes from me...but I can't get off work in time to get it. Guess I'll probably just order the one from Terrapin. And John, yes I imagined the bigger plate was worth the money...I just need something now, the crack is small and I don't really have $100 to spend on it right now. I guess I could buy the bigger plate later and just the tiny plate now. How much more work is involved with installing the bigger plate?

yea over on oilburners i posted pics of what happened to the firewall on my 88 even with the small plate installed.
turn around time on the large plate is usually pretty good. i got them in stock so normally i can get the im the mail after payment is recieved within a week.

Yea but I'm probably gonna go with the small plate or make my own. I just don't have $100 to spare right now and I need the plate ASAP. I have to drive my truck daily and I don't know how long the firewall is gonna last.
