Are you going to make the three nut captured nut plate that goes with the large kit too? I'm sure cutting it would be no problem, then just weld the rest. It comes with the large plate when you get them from Ford, I believe it's shown in the TSB as well.

yes i will be and it will be included in the price. i believe there is a 2-bolt one as well. the TSB sort of eludes to it and i was planning on providing one of those as well

im lookin at this bracket and lookin at my truck and cant see how its supposed to attach on the outside of the firewall.... you look inside under the dash and that looks right....
Of course, there is a loophole, you can parody emblems legally, I just can't remember how much the percentage of it has to differ from the original.
We can * thank* Harley Davidson for that noise
About 20 years ago they got greedy and didn't want any more places selling things with harley emblems on them, because they wanted to start their clothing line etc ( which had not existed before then ). Nobody thought they would pull it off, but once they did, it opened the flood gates.I think it would be neat if you could make something cool looking that might look nice on a fender. Right now , I'm repainting my truck and I'm de-badging it as far as the F350 insignias , so it's got a nice open spot if you get any ideas

Maybe I'll try to get a picture of mine...I'm going hydroboost eventually, when i do that, there would be some good pic opportunities maybe.
Personally, and not trying to start a war, but if I were doing one, even one that isn't cracked, I'd use the large one anyway...but that's just my .02 and nobody asked me!

some people may not want to spend the extra on the large plate....i tend to agree with you but i already got both plates drawn up and working on cutting them out at the moment so...
things are getting closer...im hoping to be able to release these in the next week or two

That is a sweet machine, pop a brake into the shop, maybe you could improve on the orig. design and patent it idk?

yeah, but you could use the brake for so much more, It's not like you got the plasma just for just firewall plates. And chit, what if a machine shop decides to make a pimped out plate? you sell the rights for some big bux, and I would love to see a brother make it big!!!
FWIW I agree with you completely...given that this is a known problem, may as well go for the big guns now and nip it in the bud. But, I can understand why someone would want the smaller plate (mainly for financial reasons, if someone's on a tight budget)...Personally, and not trying to start a war, but if I were doing one, even one that isn't cracked, I'd use the large one anyway...but that's just my .02 and nobody asked me!
Plasma cutters are very versatile machines.
I can't wait to get a reinforcement plate. My firewall is so bad I can't drive the truck (can't shift while stopped, engine is lugging when stopped in gear)
I never knew the large plate installed on the outside of the firewall, what am I going to have to remove from the firewall to put the plate on?
