Jim Shim.  Nice ring to it. Add it to the list. “About Time” is leading in my book. Quite an advanced concept really. 

The onesix has it’s own base, this thing won’t help.

[wheee!]

Switch it up...

"No Worries Distributor Mounting Plate".  

"Mistake-Be-Gone"

"Doesn't Matter Mounting Plate."

It's not really a shim, is it?

Regarding the hold down bolt coming lose - I believe it already has a lock washer on it. You could also indicate in the install instructions (if required) that a wee dollop of blue thread locker might be advised. How many instances of the stock plate anchoring setup loosening up have been recorded?

Ok I am sold how do I get one or a prototype one? My distributor is at max rotate right now and needs just a little more to get it perfect and i just don’t want to deal with it so I left it.

Send me an email to z240@shaw.ca and we’ll exchange contact info. I’ll only ask for the cost of postage to for a proto type 

Obliges you to test, feed back, send some pics, maybe some good press if you like it.

There are small scale engraving tables that run off of a computer. They use a router to do the engraving. Get's the engraving done and a new tool for the shop

How about calling it the "1125 Plate" since that's what none of us can ever get right the first time.  ?

Or... just call it the "Clock Plate"

I've seen some small CNC versions. There have been projects that have crossed my path that made me wish I had something like that!

Me too. Thats why I was researching them

[Captain Obvious]

Well that would be perfect. If I need a dial engraved, I'll pay you to do it.   

I don't have anything in my shop that's CNC. In fact, I think all my machines are older than I am.
