Mike,
if you don't need that pinion handle anymore, I'll take it.

Hey Neil,
As far as I'm concerned you can have it, I want to take the rest of the pony motor stuff off, but how the heck to I get it out? lol,
Have any helpful instructions for easy removal?

Hello Mike.
I made the plate a few years ago.
The first plate i made was too thin (maybe 1/😎 It tended to warp/move too easily and leaked despite my efforts.
The second plate was about 3/8 thick. I used a CAT gasket and plenty of gasket goop particularly around the bolt holes. Torqued it down evenly and it has not leaked ever again, Despite running pretty hot some days.
Good luck
steve
I use two 3/8" plates. The first one I drill for the bolts and dowels. The second plate I over bore the holes to recess bolt heads and allow enough room for a socket. End product gives a flat deck for batteries.

Just undo the four bolts, spray lots of loose juice around the gasket area and inside the clutch housing in the direction of the big o-ring that gets tight over time - lots of wiggling. On e it gets wet, it'll slide right out
I almost have it out, sprayed some more wd40 on it and letting it sit till tomorrow, Ill send a pm to ya for your address once I get it out.

Make the top plate large enough to accommodate the size batteries your using, mine pretty much run from fender to fender on the D4.
