Post by Dale morris »

Hi all. I am trying to find a picture of the engine plates to suit my 56 18s. I have the part nos . The plates i have seem too short on the rear frame end.

I currently have the plates for my 56 G80S out of the machine, I could trace and send to you if you PM your address.

UPDATE - I have now traced an engine plate ready to send.

The parts list illustration is very clear. The '56 plate is quite a bit longer than the '55. See parts list here:
