turbowrenchhead Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm replacing the cushions in my basket and replacing the basket. I can't find a machinist that will countersink 4 holes for the 5/16 bolts. I have a few carbide bits but none of them will touch it. Does anyone have a plate they would like to get rid of?

All Ive ever used was a drill bit. IDK why it would be giving you problems,,,but let me see if i have an extra laying around, if so, you can just have it.

Josh Z Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 They are hard AS FUCK to countersink... even the stock ones are pretty damn hard... I got one of these and it was great and way easy... http://www.ebay.com/itm/BANSHEE-CLUTCH-BASKET-BACKING-PLATE-CUSHION-KIT-DRAG-By-Mattoon-Machine-/320982933652?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4abc12e094&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Last stock basket I had Someone had rebuilt with new cushions and reused the stock plate and left the stock rivets in place and had button welds holding the plate on, I don't know how safe this was but seemed to hold up quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 just buy a billet basket already!!!! that plate/ cusion setup from matton was a suggestion of mine to update the lesser quality billet baskets out there. i have installed that setup on hinsons barrnets and the incrediby weak wiseco setups. the stock plate is VERY VERY hard and ridgid for a reason. some of the aftermarkets i have seen use ALLUMINUM what the hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
