Reply With QuoteOhhhhh, you mean THOSE kinda shoes? I was all over this before I opened it.
I drilled the bowl for the cradle last nite but i have an issue. The cradle is dead center on the bowl, but when you lift the plate up its off set to one side. If you look at these pics you can see on the left where the plate is about 1 inch off set from the bottom of the cradle. Why is it off set? everything else is straight, intake, motor, pump. Could the shoe be drilled wrong.
Now, if the ride plate is straight, is it ok to raise the plate and have it off set like that. Where its bolted to the cradle doesnt matter if the plate is straight with the shoe, right?

Boy 460, you come up with some of the damndest situations! LOL
I'm thinking that something HAS to be out of square. Possibly the front of the rideplate where your mounting holes are drilled, or the back mating surface of your shoe. I'd pull the plate, and check for square, and then check your shoe for square first off. If all is well there, I think I'd trim a little off of the front of the plate, so that it meets the cradle evenly. You don't want the cradle hanging off over the side of your plate like that-how are you going to mount the plate to the cradle???
Second, you are going to need some angle along the edge of your rideplate also, but you probably already knew that one.
Hopefully someone will chime in with some other thoughts....You know, you could call Duane and see what he says! Ha-Ha! Had to throw that in there just for Miss Jane.
