Motor mount adapter plate
« on: January 20, 2016, 06:46:44 AM »
Does anyone have a spare that is available?  This is the cast iron plate that bolts to the engine block that the motor mount is then bolted to.  I broke one around the top front bolt hole taking the alternator bracket off.   :BangHead:

Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck,
  Don't throw out the broken one.  These are a good quality material and can be repaired. A good welder can either weld it with a nickel rod or braze it back together.  These are rare enough that they are worth the effort to repair.

Brian is very right.

I read an article about a new welding rod for cast iron. Can't recall where it was though.

ALL great points!  I was going to suggest a partial swap..  If I find an extra good solid plate, I will send it to you and you send me yours along with the busted off piece.. I have a welder here that can weld anything...

Wheelz,

Do you have a solid plate to swap?  If so, I'm interested.

Here ya go Chuck!  As shown, this motor plate is EXCELLENT!  It is part of a set, and as promised, I will swap mine for yours.

So, how does this plan sound... To be reasonably fair, I'll send you mine, at my expense, you send me yours at your expense plus $65 to cover welding process to repair yours so I will once agian have a complete usable set.  Whaaa cheu say to that?? 

Basically you will be getting an excellent motor plate for $65.

Sound reasonable?

Well, OK then.  It appears you've thought of everything. 

In my case, that would be KISS....Keep It Simple Stupid!   :laughing7:
