Looking at the setup sheets, are there seperate plates for different position ball studs??

thats cool, saves having to buy the three other plates...

unless Mr Atomic Carbon can make a plate with them all on it ;)

That'd be a good idea, there are pics kicking about somewhere of Mossy's car with a three-hole front link plate - will add it here if I can find it later. Not sure why that wasn't kept as the option part rather than faffing with multiple plates - clearance issues perhaps?

depends on the distance between screw holes, if they are close, they you would have to go up on the thickness to give it strength.

Got it! Looks like the holes may overlap, could be a strength issue as you suggest. Still, I'd rather have a single metal item a la Durango 410R than three interchangeable carbon ones if clearance isn't the issue.

looks like it might catch on the down stroke, and if it was 3 hole wide???
not a massive job to change it any way, 6 screws i think,o metal bends as well,

metal bends as well,

Damned right, but you'd probably finish your race before replacing the part. When you're as lazy as me, six screws plus two ballstuds is way more hassle than just two ballstuds :D

I guess if a multi-hole link plate is feasible then someone will make it - then we'll see what people use.

I know they are made for the SX. Who made them again? I have them on mine but for the life of me cant remember who. Hopefully if they are feasable, they will make them for the SV as well. I 2 like the ease of just moving a ball stud rather than changine a whole plate but thats just me. You know us lazy americans :lol:
