crow wrote:My thoughts (for what they are worth) on this is that the whole idea was kinda superseded by the modular concept . that is you are unlikely to want to disable or enable plates mid run so rather than going to all the hass of building and running this its easier to just decide how many plates you would like to run for a given run and add or remove them , problem solvered :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I did see one design I liked which had the plates on a butterfly system like you have in a carbie now that seemed not to hard to do and very easy to opporate

crow wrote:actually it was described as in I don't think it was built. I'm pretty sure by OD yeah from memory the idea was to have an axle set up sealing it would be not to hard and the idea was to just use some sort of key (like a spanner would work) on the pin/axle that would extend out. yes naturally it would have to be perf plates with a J or hey a centre cap would work to I guess. Who ever it was you came up with this got shot to bits for all sorts of reasons but none of them were particularly logical, like always when someone describes something before its ever been done ;-)
PS yeah ok Mac might have been , it was a long time ago I saw it . I have made reference to it here in some other thread maybe six month or more ago
