    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Jay, are those grinding marks on the backing plate? Was it installed in another basket before? Looks like a lot of countersink in the rivet holes is what makes me think that. Maybe it's just the way the picture looks.

Ray; New plate, never installed before. 1948; I believe that is yours. On it's way to you.
 
Hi Storm the rivet squishing (non technical term by the way ha ha 0 is something MTC did and never welded them (at least some of there's) also rivets are designed to be set flattened and never are welded on aircraft and trucks and so on, Just because someone does it doesn't mean its the right way, Just because you read it somewhere doesn't make it the wright way ,,Loads of wrong info on the net , Later Mike
 
The MTC rivets are pressed to expand them. You need a press capable of crushing the rivets & I don't have one that big so I will continue welding them. I have NEVER had a failure or an issue with welding the rivets. Either way works, no wrong with either method.

I built a 50 Ton Press, squishes the sh.. out of empty Beer Cans Might Good.
