I am working on getting these mass produced. Maybe by me, or a small machine shop. don't know yet. Might even be an item that could be 3d printed and have steel inserts. Anyway. my prototype works great so far! I do a ton of scratch building, and any time I can save a few bucks on a build without compromising accuracy, im all in.
This little jem allows you to slip a piece of K&S 3/4" by 064 brass sheet in the back, and has a drill guide for standard motor plates. You can get quite a few motor plates out of one 12" section of brass. It does not allow for any axle tabs, but I use a lot of different off sets in my builds, so I didn't need that option. This will simply allow you to make a brass motor plate that can be soldered into any brass chassis project you may have.

Bob, you've done it again. Great idea.

I'll take one.

Do you accept third party, out of state paypal?

LOL Of course Harry! Gotta clean up this prototype and start on some manufacturing. I have already made all the motor plates for the cars im building, in about 15 minutes. Still have enough brass strip left for guide tongues! I'll be sending you out a couple for test purposes shortly.
(Gotta have the skunkworks seal of approval)

I think you should use A-2 Tool steel, do all the machining then send out to get hardened
At 50 Rockwell a high speed steel drill bit would never wear it out

Give me a call when you check into machine shop prices lol

Looks like a must have...I assume this is for the FC FK motors?

Neat idea Bob! I've had a different method for making motor plates, but I like your way better.

Slick idea - wouldn't mind having one of those on hand here myself!
Two thumbs up!
