I plan to make in small quantity the alternator backing plate and taco plate cover gaskets. Depending on the gasket size I may be able to make added gaskets on the same layout.
What gaskets are needed that are not available or only available in a complete set? The first run will be from 1/16 paper Vellumoid material. They will be cut on a computer plotter which may have material thickness limitations. Pictures of the gaskets with a ruler for relative size will be helpful. |

Price varies but they are under $5. Trying to find some gaskets to cut while making the alternator backing plate gaskets as the material inside of it would go to waste. Maybe the oils sump plate since they are more likely to get changes more often. |

Bruce we could work with you on these if you want. It's a part we planned to make when we do the plastic air ducting ring. Mark |

Not a big market or demand but I think it helps elevate the cover from the positive post to prevent arcing. It wold be good to include with the alternater harness since you have to remove the cover to install the harness. I made one by hand for my own alternator. There are two variations of the plastic ring and alternator front plate. Not sure where each is used. I have samples of the front plates but only one style of the ring. Bruce |
