Wanted 5.5”-54mm thrust plate

[Ryangengler]

Looking if anyone has a 5.5”-54mm thrust plate laying around. SC precision no longer makes this size and don’t have any left in inventory. Long shot, but thought I’d ask.

Thanks all.

Have you considered making one from plywood? Costs less, and weighs less.

I agree with @QFactor, nothing 54mm you put in there is going to actually be worth a thrust plate. If it's cosmetic, I get that.

I have friends at a machine shop who have done a few things for me. They could fabricate one if you're able to provide specs. It wouldn't be free, and they don't do anodization. PM me specs if interested.

You are correct I

100% for cosmetic value. Appreciate the offer to connect with the machine shop. Was hopeful that someone had a SC precision plate laying around that I could purchase, but otherwise (to the points noted above) I will likely just leave it off.

Here are some pictures of a plywood thrust plate for a 75mm motor, Aero Pack retainer, and 5.5" dia. LOC Precision body tube.

No fancy tools to make it.

Interestingly there has been a cyclic (?) growth in requests for that size........... if the interest was there I'd run another batch. The only way it makes sense is doing a pile of them at one time. I have brought a few other sizes back to life after periods of time that made me think they were dead.
