Were the originals made from aluminium ? If so they would have fallen off due to dissimilar metal corrosion. This would explain why they are more often missing than not. If they are steel plates I bet the rivets holding them were of different metal... Same problem occurs.

Yep, I believe they are aluminum. I recall recovering armour with the lube plate on it from up North, and by the time Gord went to use the armour the plate had corroded off.

Are the originals a zinc material?

You may be right. Whatever they are, the elements do love eating them away if given a chance.

I finally made some of those plates. They are milled aluminum using a CNC router.

Please ask any questions or PM me if you need some made.

If you need an opinion you may ask Michael R. or Peter Duggan (Lynx mk 11, hull # 4225).

best regards
Markus

Default Recommendation

Guys,

I can personally attest to Markus's work. I would highly recommend his data and publication plates. The money that I spent on my plates was one of my better investments.

Peter
