Title: G/box inspection plate
Post by: ChrisB on October 02, 2003, 04:24:03 AM
Hi guys,
I need some help re g/box inspection plates, my FC has a (FB) g/box. It has only four mounting bolts for the inspection cover mounting, the inspection plate I have has six holes and the two side ones foul the g/box to engine mount brackets, any ideas ?

Yeah sure, search on this forum it was a posting from Tony "IhadaV8" re motor colour. I got local GMH dealer to match it then got it in two pak, just had to wait for some decent weather here in ACT to spray it.

This is the correct Inspection plate for the FC . Only 4 holes. Hope this helps Chris.

Thanks Slim,
There is a bit of difference, I am now curious as to when they went from six to four mounting screws for the inspection plates   ???


Kiwiek61, I could not find it on the search for you but the code on the tin is GMH  code 10367
