Default Backplate for 1975 OS 15 R/C

A kind soul gave me a 1975 OS Max .15 R/C in excellent condition, except for one thing. It does not have a backplate. This model can be identified at OS Engine Timeline http://www.osengines.com/history/ostimeline05.html

I would like to use it in a Piece O' Cake but need that backplate. Anyone have the engine or similar model in their disused pile? I would like to locate a backplate to fit my engine.

Thanks,
Andrew

I think I have a backplate mount at home for one. It replaces the stock backplate. I'll look tonight and post.

It wouldn't hurt to post a request over at Stuka Stunt on the wanted forum. http://www.clstunt.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi since these guys have a lot of older motors amog them, and will be glad to help if possible.

Bummer - it's labelled for a 15FP. I'll send it to you if you want to try it.

Trent,
Thanks for looking it up. I am going to the SE Model Show at Perry, GA this weekend. While there, will be able to check to see if the 15 FP backplate would fit. Also, might just come across the right backplate from an old parts engine.
Will let you know next week. I appreciate your effort on my behalf.

Trent,
I found a parts engine at the SE Model Show at Perry, GA with a backplate that is a perfect match. Thanks for taking the time to check your stock.
