Dan the SS plate issue being looked into by Ames Engineering. Hopefully they too will see a change is needed.

The SS plates might have been good enough for the shaved impellers we had trouble with, but that is no longer true. 3 of us have seen these plates are no longer 'good enough'. These new impellers that are correct need a plate that has the full curve in it... just like the original plate with the keyway. Even the plate Pontiac changed too had the full curve in it minus the keyway. There is no reason why these SS plates should be beaten on to make them work.... not any more. Besides, it's very iffy if the SS plates can even be beaten so they'll work with correct impeller Cardone is going to use. If they can it will be a long slow process... and that's from a machine shop. Two wrongs don't make a right. Pontiac didn't beat on any plates they used, so why should we have to.
