I've got hold of a cb performance camber compensator for when the plan was for a later transmission. But now that I'm fitting a split case it obviously won't fit. Anyone got the measurements from an original centre plate for a split case camber compensator so I can get one made?

Thanks!!!

Everett,

Nice detail on your bracket. Could you please measure the thickness or gauge of the metal?

Thanks.

I measure it as a tiny amount over 3mm thick with that same ruler so maybe not super exact for a thickness measurement.

I found this chart that says 8-gauge is 4.365625mm

Maybe it's 11-gauge? That's 3.125mm
