Does anyone make a mid plate for a rocket chassis that is adjustable left and right not just up and down. This would be the newer style mid plate. Thanks

Unless something changed or I'm just not remembering right, the mid plates have holes up and down and the chassis has tabs with holes left to right, are you wanting something different or just more left/right then they allow?Quote:

There isn’t enough room in my chassis tabs for new holes. I’m just going to machine a new mid plate.
Rocket sells a mid plate that moves the engine over 1 or 2 inches I believe.
I have used the Howe screw on wheel spacers(left side in your case), for years with no problems. They come in different lengths and are very affordable.
Zero do you have a link for what you use?
Dirtracer I called rocket and they told me theirs only adjust up and down.
It adjusts up and down but it move the engine over. All of the bell housing bolt holes and the dowel pin holes are moved overQuote:

They must have quit making it. Cause I was told by Robbie that they made one. But I do know that Robbie does not work there anymore
Mine came from Howe but Speedway has them!Quote:

Modifying the frame mounts should get the engine where you want it. Provided their are no clearance issues. Don’t know Orange car layout at all.Seems the easiest pathway for what your after.😎
