Bill, I would agree with you except the rear engine plates I have consist of a left (primary side) plate with three approx 5/16" washers welded to the bottom where it mounts to the crankcase and none on top where it mounts to the frame and a right (timing side) plate with no washers where it mounts to the crankcase but a single 1/8 washer for the bottom gearbox mount and two 1/8" washers at the top where it mounts to the frame. The gearbox adjuster has a loose 1/8" washer to allow for adjustment.


The front and rear of the crankcase mounting lugs are 3 5/16" and the gearbox is about 3 1/2" wide, with these plates the gearbox fits perfectly when the plates are bolted to the crankcase, but there is still about a 1/8" discrepancy between the width of my plates and the frame engine mount. I have another set of engine plates that I bought on E-bay and they are identical and I have been up to Rabers Parts Mart in San Jose this morning and they have a pair which are also identical to what I have. You don't by any chance have an extra mudguard bracket holder or something at the frame lug thus widening it by 1/8" do you?
