Hi Jim,

That's a 948 engine plate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Don't use it!!!!!!!!  It's got
a rolled edge to give it some stiffness and it's NOT 3/8" thick!!!  Where can
you get 3/8" thickness on this???

Get a 1275 plate and 1275 oil pump cover to go with it.

Later, Paul A

  Here is a link to a picture of the back plate on my
  1275cc Midget engine.  Please take a look and tell
  me if I need to do anything with it while I have the
  engine out. It looks kinda cobbled together to me
  and I can't find a part number on it. It is 3/8" thick
  however so probably thickness isn't a problem.
  Maybe I should just clean it off a little and put it
  back together.....
