[Spridgets] Rear engine plate

[Paul Asgeirsson]

Hi Michael,

The original 948 back plate is a stamped steel one very unlike the ground
cast iron one from a 1098/1275 type.  That slight difference in thickness of
the two plates you have indicates you might have two 1098 or 1275 type of
plates.  Each of those were cast iron ones, ground to sorta the same
thickness.

I'm not sure of the non same positioned holes you mention.  Where are they
located?

Keep in mind there are likely a lot of guys in the past playing mix and
"it'll do" long before us playing with these parts!

Later, Paul A

Turns out that the bolt holes appear to line up properly, but the internal
holes do not, and there are some differences in the outer profile with some
extra small bolt holes.  Also, it is about 0.02" thinner.  Are the 948
plates different from the 1275 plates?  Would anyone who thinks they might
be able to identify this plate please contact me off-list for pictures?
