Postage stamp backplate mount?

Oh yes that's a cool mount, addict!

I was thinking of using pieces of aluminum bar that I'd drill and mill (I wish) or file in such a profile that they would fit to the backplate and extend above or to the sides of the backplate and the extending parts would have the mounting bolt holes. Kinda like the ones Roddie made but from a solid billet instead of bending to avoid the stress fractures. Never got enough round-toits gathered to do that.

I like your solution, very well thought of

Thanks guys,
After all the planning and work, I found that I don't need the mounts at this time. If any one wants one, PM me. I have 2 to send away.
Cheers

These mounts also act as a girdle to help seal the plastic backplate, which is prone to warping and leaking in air.

The mounts were mailed out to a couple of CEF members.  Unfortunately sending one to Canada was cost prohibitive. So if you can get some 1 inch aluminum square tubing you can fabricate one with a hack saw, drill press, rotary tool and files.  I'm posting a rough drawing of the dimensions. Where there's no measurement it's the stock 1 inch. You can convert some of the dimensions to fractions if it will make it easier for you. The square hole on the firewall mount side is optional. you can just drill a large hole if you want.  Also the slots on the sides are also optional as the weight savings are minimal. Sorry the measurement 1.65" should be 1.065"
 Thanks

Awesome, thanks for the dimensions. Will try this out this weekend.

Here is my mount in use thanks to Coxaddict.  I just had to put it to use to show off my new engine for some type of car, plane or boat. I haven't figured that part out yet.
