Title: 65-68 Sill Plates
Post by: Bossbill on May 23, 2022, 06:34:17 PM

There are many players in the sill plate arena.
I had some awful ones on my 65 and compared to C5 Ford plates they looked awful (and had one less rib in the recess).
Do any of the reproductions pass the sniff test?

I believe the Carpenter ones are made from original tooling.

I have one nice original C5 but the other one got destroyed.

Nice to see Daniel Carpenter makes a good replacement.

Thanks Bob.
