Could someone who has already purchased the Bremar aluminum plate please measure the thickness of the plate and, post the thickness.

Thanks!

Next, i carefully drilled pilot holes in the plate and then chased them with the step drill bits to get the holes close.

I used a bolt to gauge how big the holes would be in the plate so I did not drill too big! For the shifter arm, drilled a hole in the plate then used a carbide drill bit to open up the hole to the traced dimensions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Then, after all the holes (including the drift pin holes) were finished I used various metal cutting blades in my jigsaw to cut out the plate.



After I was close to the traced out lines I test fit the plate on the end of the trans.



It took a bit of feathering with the step drill bits and emery cloth to get every hole aligned properly. But it worked out great!
