Re: New Style LT5 Billet Plate
Carter, sent you an email, but could you do one the dimensions of the entire TB? Then you could potential fit more text on it, and it would look "cleaner".

Re: New Style LT5 Billet Plate
How “thick” are they?
And, how thick would “thinner” be? Thanks! |

Little thicker than a quarter and they will not be any thinner.

Re: New Style LT5 Billet Plate
So if you have by-passed the TB coolant lines would you be able to put this on and it stay without the torx screws and it be level with the TB?

"tapes" over the existing plate. That's why they want it thin.

I would be interested in the same as you. Bypassed coolant, clean (no screw holes or cut out) and sitting flush w/ TB and stuck on with 3M heavy duty double stick. Carter would have to make it almost as thick as the original, but it’s not flat in there under the plate. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

I could machine off material from your factory plate so the "new" style plate would fit flush or dang close depending on how low the factory torx set below the plate surface before machining. I can machine both the factory plate and screws if there was enough room.

That’s a good idea. I forget what the stock plate looks like underneath? What about machining the thickness of new plate and tape off the top of the stock plate? Wait a minute! I’d have to see if I kept the stock plate the next time I go home. I probably tossed that nasty thing. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry

Re: New Style LT5 Billet Plate
Agree! Looks nice...very nice! (But, upside down to my eye too).
