Hi, if you screw in a new bolt in and shake it from side to side you should find out if it needs helicoiling 

For me the screws stripped before the aluminum did. Which either says a lot about the Italian aluminum or something not so nice about the Italian SS.

The pair of slosh plates arrived today in Ireland, i must say someone is quite handy with the jigsaw.

Lovely job, a pitty to hide it but when my oil light flickered during heavy breaking i knew it was time to do something.

Thanks Eric and greetings from Cork,world capital of the sideway rains.

Once upon a lifetime, I was working at a Texaco gas station in Belleville, Michigan, USA about 1985. A car full of people stopped for directions to the church up the street, for an extended family wedding. They were from Cork. They were flat hammered. Nobody cared and they apparently successfully navigated their way around. I've long since lost the contact information, but I did get a standing invitation to stay in Cork. It's on my long list of places to see.

thanks Eric  from Brisbane Australia - fitted the plate up the other day.  

Just to let everyone know that through some quite wild troubles Eric was amazing to deal with.  5 stars.

I have a Roper plate installed in a Bellagio and fill the oil to the underneath  of the plate.

Never had an issue yet with this and it's a little more than what the dip stick allows.

I think that semi dry dumping with a barrier like this allows a different oil level to be well tolerated. 

My bike when ridden hard is prone to oil expulsion from the exhaust and since installing Peter's plate this has stopped.

So with the Bellagio it's not so much that you fear uncovering the pick-up under acceleration but it's more about reducing oil foaming and overwhelming the condenser.

Why this short stroke engine is prone to whip creaming the oil is a mystery to me but it does in it's standard format.

Chris.

I guess I'm a ween. I've seen the light and immediately baked off.

I just PM'd  @Pressureangle to add one of these to my pile. I waited until everyone had the chance to get one as I am the proud owner of The Very Last P.Roper MotoModa plate.

Still, the chance to own, and display, this awesome Rusty Star Picket Project plate is just too much for me to pass up.

I mean, mySport has never run better. I guess I'll install a Genuine / P.Roper MotoModa ® plate "when the time comes." Maybe when the Genuine Joe Caruso® timing gears get mounted.

Maybe replace the original valve cover gaskets . . .     

I am very proud that V11LeMans.com, and @Pressureangle in particular, has honored @pete roper's engineering/design contribution to this community.

Hey, @obliviousmonkey, pretty sure @Pressureangle monitors this thread, but just for extra measure I used the "@" notifier. If he doesn't get back to you pretty soon, consider clicking on his username and using the forum's "Message" feature . . .

Thanks. I PM’d him as well.

I saw that you said you got the last one and freaked out. Ha.

Well, I believe I got the Very Last Genuine MotoModa plate directly from Pete.  Last I heard from Pressureangle, he still has a few of these "P.Roper Authorized" Rusty Star Picket plates available . . .

That’s what my brain told me but my bike said you better grab one fast.

As of today, I still have about ten plates left.
