Title: [HELP]Where to find a JD40 "middle plate"
Post by: Wazazaby on Tue, 28 June 2016, 14:13:19

Oi guys!

So I've had my JD40 for about 3 months now, and I totally fell in love with the little guy.

I added some Gon alu legs on it, now it's even better! The only thinks I need for it now is a middle plate (like this one

)

Can I custom order it somewhere ? Are there people selling them? I'm from Europe so I hope it's not too hard to get one, the Classifieds and the mechmarket didn't help me found one so I hope someone has an idea!

Thanks

Waza

Me neither, I found out after watching this video!

I asked Leandre about them but he didn't have any in stock, maybe I should re pm him about where he got them

I'd call that a spacer.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  It's just filling the gap between actual plates.  If you're any good with 2D CAD you could have one made.  It probably wouldn't even be that expensive.

That video is painful.  It's 5 minutes of assembly and 80 minutes of filing down screws.  Has that guy never heard of fast forward?

Hey! Thanks for the clarification, and I dont even know what 2D CAD is, nor do I know how to use it sadly...

Yeah that's a painful vid, plus it was a stream and I watched the whole thing like a dumb ****

Since I shared this with the OP, I figured I would let everyone use this middle layer drawing.
