I will be cnc cutting these plates on Thursday and I need every ones vote before I go ahead and cut them. The plates fit the Browntop d16a1, with ones on the way for the Blacktop soon. The plates will be offered in a few different options.

They will be offered in the following finishes, plain aluminum and powder coated. They will be offered without the logo as well for who ever doesn't want the super sweet CHEDDASAUTO logo.

Prices are subject to change but will be right around $40 for unfinished and $100 for powdercoated. Color choices are blue, red, black, and white. The item will have rounded edges like the second photo.

I like the bottom one without holes so i can use it to cover up my COP setup, i just have to measure them to make sure they dont sit up to high.

[chedda_j]

That's what I was thinking, what is involved to do COP? The plug wires them selves have probably 1" or more of clearance to the plate as is.

Bottom black one is siiiick !! I wish they weren't going to be so much , but I understand there not cheep to make . Maybe I'll change my mind when I see the finished product. Keep up the good work tho looks awesome!!!

[chedda_j]

Trust me, If I could offer them for cheaper I would. I am getting these precision machined, not water jet or plasma cut, plus good powder coating, shipping ect. It's not cheap and honestly I wont make much money on these, I just came up with the design to get my name out there. If I was able to order say 50 at a time, I could probably drop them down to about $90 a piece. Just not going to happen. Like I said, people are more than welcome to get the plain aluminum one, and do whatever they want to do it, its quite a bit cheaper that way.

Hey Chedda, sorry to jack the thread, but have you ever make a similar product as a battery holdown? I have one on my 2nd gen with CRX in black carbon fiber letters. Doesnt look too difficult to take this template and resize it as a battery holdown.

Thoughts?

[chedda_j]

The top template is a battery tie down, I have to do this I'm stages sadly, one thing at a time.

Here is a hand cut version of the flared edition seen in the top photo. I made this today using my new dimple dies ect. The finished ones will be CNC cut

Bottom one hands down, pure sex.

That really is nice,  I'll join the queue.

[chedda_j]

Here are the first 20 ordered up. I am just waiting for a the powder coating guy to get back to me so I can get these all done up/

Is this just for dress up or is there a mechanical function that I am unaware of?  Not knocking it just curious.

[chedda_j]

The only real mechanical use for it is to keep your plugs from working their way out. Its all for show mainly. I guess it protects the wires from any water splashing up from the road.

Could these be installed on the 3rd or 4th gen DOHC ZC? Realize they don't have bolts/studs where the tabs are on these but maybe there is a cheap easy fix? Riv nuts with studs and thread locker?

[chedda_j]

possibly, that would be up to the user to do some drilling in a valve cover, that shit scares me. You could probably just scuff and use some really good glue to put tabs on. Just a thought.
