tour pak plate
Anyone knowthe thickness the aluminum plate in the bottom of the tour pak? I bought a tour pak off of e-bay and they ripped everything out of the inside. No plate, torx screws, gromets; they evern cut the end of the brake light multilock plug.
So I need to make a new plate just need to know how thick the standard plate is. 3/16 or 1/4??

It's pretty thin if I remember right, more like a 1/16th of and inch not sure what gauge that would be though, at least thats what it lookslike to me. Maybe someone will chime in tell you for sure

RE: tour pak plate
Why not shoot Zanotti's an email and ask for a part number and price? I ask because the OEM plate has a smooth bottom with bolts underneathalready formounting, cut-out for light bar wiring, etc.
I'm a big fan of DIY, but even with a liner the bolt heads may be a problem, exact fit more difficult (for me to do anyway)--just my 2 cents.

RE: tour pak plate
I called an independent shop today they could not find a part number so I thought I would have to make it myself. I didn't think it would be too hard to cut out 19 x 12.5 trapezoid and notch out the corners. So Cal thanks for the information.

Just happen to have an Ultra in the shop for a complete re-build and re-paint. Plate is .075" thick galvanized steel, so if you are going to use aluminum you will have to go a little thicker to get the same strength/rigidity.
Hope this helps.
