Post by: bmw90w on July 21, 2009, 10:42:27 pm
 Hey guys not sure what it is called but does anyone have the plate that attaches on the bottle stack. Mine is red and severely damaged. Prefereably looking for a silver one but let me know what you have and price. Thanks!!

what do you mean by damaged? The only one ive ever seen that was not repairable was cut with a cutting torch. Myself and several other members here get them powdercoated and they look flawless once done.

Ill have to take a better picture of it to show you. It is warped in many places like someone took pliers to it or something. I plan on repainting it. It is just the wavyness of the warping that is beyond repair for me. I was just gonna hammertone it, but I might take your advice. What color do you recommend? Thanks

If it was my machine I would go back original and go with red. If you plan on two toning the machine I would go white. Your machine your call.

Lets see a photo of it,, They are usually pretty easy to straighten out, just get the big bends out of it, and once you powder or paint it, when you attache it back to the stack it should pull together nicely and look great.

I powder coat my faceplates, white for two tone machines and all red for single color 81a's

Powder holds up alot better than paint as paint will chip easily when bottles are pulled out of the stack.
