Just grind the recesses to the MFI head. That's the way it's always been done over here.

EssexRSTurbo, no, Ahmeds are different. And I believe Jano was using Ameds ones before?

It was strange how when I send Jano two of mine FOC to help out a mate, a month or so ater some that are EXACTLY the same, appear on ebay, same conoutr design on the outside, same features (where I didnt propperly understand how to radius edges in the CAD software, so they arent 100% smooth)...strange how Jano seems to have come up with exatcly the same design. Anyway, this arguement died a LONG time ago. Not here to have it again.

Thanks Spence

As said, I cant be doing with the hassle of making them any more, whats the point? I may have one or two kicking about in my garage at home, but I wont be able to check for a week or two yet.

Ill hav a think over the weekend then and speak to the cutters on Monday.

Thing is I can only get them made in batches and to have 6 sat round my garage doing nothing isnt any good.

Also, I gte them raw, without the injector cutouts, so they would need to be machined in, I dont mind doing a few plates, but youd have to get the grinders out yerself

would you be able to supply the dimensions for the cut outs? also how much would that be to get it machined on top of the plate?

They are outlined on the plate mate, laser etched on. Also, the plate is mild steel, so powdercoat it if you want it blinging, lol...i didnt bother on my ZVH as you cant see it anyway

If you have a look at the website you will find all the info about the conversion plates + other parts.

These plates that we are talking about have been made for the last 8 years!!!! I used to make these items out of a flat sheet of alloy with a saw & file If you open your eyes a little more you will also see the reason that Armhed started to make these plates!

After a certain person took one of his cars to him to be mapped. The conversion plate that took sooo foooking long to make that was used on his car. AND many others before his!!!!
Armhed see and decided he wanted to do the same. What can we do? Even if it had a patent <Spelin? All anyone would have to do is change it slightly

As for you Phil!
You cant just say what you make up then----

All them months ago when i was at home one night chilling, and i had a new name pop up on my screen adding my MSN account. You starting talking to me and asking questions and that. I thought no problem ill help as much as i can. You knew even from that first conversation i made these plates along with a whole loads of other things you was asking for/about.... If only i knew then

You can think what you will the FACT is there is nothing new about my conversion plates or the 5 other peoples/tuners in the country!
