BSCC- Plate

Steve,

What do I look for on my car? for this plate? Is that something that would make my car overheat on the highway in the summer?

Steve,

I have the plate so I'm all set.  Do all models have it or just the lates?

I checked my crossmember and the only bad section is where the passengers strut rod attaches and I've cut a plate for that area.

Since I'm now in the process of installing new upper and lower A arm bushings along with adjusting  bolts I don't think I'd be interested in replacing the one on the car.  Currently I have the passengers side completely done and the drivers upper is off being painted prior to being reinstalled.  Only the lower drivers side is left to do.  New upper ball joints, outer tie rod ends and sway bar bushings also have been replaced.  Shocks only have less than 1000 miles on them.  Also have done the front brakes over.  So you can understand me not wishing to change my current crossmember.

If I was interested in having a "spare", how much would you want for one?  What would it come with?

Have a great weekend.

Jim B

Hi Jim, 
     Many people discarded them over the years. There function is to help control air flow and more specifically temperature of the engine during warm up and operation. It is supposed to be installed - covering the hole - during summer operation. I'm sure I have extras if your interested. I also have two late model crossmembers I'd like to part with. They are taking up too much room and I'd like to see them go. Let me know if your interested.

Club Members,

Just a reminder to change over the winter/summer plate in the engine compartment.  Some people may know it as a summer/winter plate. While changing my oil & filter I noticed that I hadn't done mine.

Unable to attend this weekend RI event, sorry.

Jim B
