Best block off plate, What's your opinion?

[pay2play]

I think I'm going to remove my tunnel protectors for ice build up reasons. I plan to put on the 1.75 back country track (someday) anyhow and they'd need to come off. I see the block off plates by OFT and Schmidt bros. How do you like them?

I have the Schmidt bros block off plate, nice fit and finish and it cuts down on the ice build up nicely.

I just checked out both the OFT and Schmidt bros plates. The OFT looks better in my opinion. With the pictures displayed of the actual install, the OFT looks like it blocks more. Downside is that the OFT is 40 bucks more.

My thoughts exactly, just wasn't sure if it mattered. Hope to get some real world reports.

Just made my own custom block off plate. $12 sheet of aluminum. Was at Hay Days this weekend, always gets me into shred sled mode. Decided to tear it down for some routine maintanence and a few upgrades. Couple hrs and a few beers later block off plate done.

Could You email pictures of where the clearance was needed to Rick@OFTRacing.com I have had no reports of issues so I'd like to see what was going on.

Thank You,

Rick, I'll be ordering your plate. Looks very nice. Hoping to avoid a block of ice under the tunnel. Took off the stud protectors too. That should help a lot by itself.

It was on the u shaped cutout where the exhaust cones through. The pipe was touching. When I take the sled out of storage I will try to remember to take a photo.

Thank you, feel free to post it up here. If its a problem others are having hopefully they will chime up and its really easy for us to adjust the cutout if needed.
