Rear motor plate and axle mounting plates

If this is for a 6.30 tag for say a fuel altered with a steel back axle,then you cant use ali for the axle push plates,has to be moly quarter not being a smart arse just trying to save you grief,,,,,,bill

Also the motor plate only needs to be quarter plate ,unless you are using a multi stage lock up clutch,which means you would need quarter plate moly,,,,,,,bill

The axle is a Strange Toploader if that makes a difference, I think they're modular ally?
Clutch is just a simple 3 disc alky clutch

Thanks for the advice Bill, as you say saves grief later

See where your coming from,toploaders are a nice piece,and of course ,beingmodular should allow you to tag below,ie faster than 6.30.....interesting clas fuel altered isnt it? building a monster fuel burner for next year for a customer ,,,,,bill
