Status: offline 		I bought the offset plate from OMP to use on my profiles but am not exactly sure what part of the plate to use.

The plate is 3X3 and I need to use it for a 46 engine. I know that width wise the plate gets cut to work on several profiles but I am not sure what angled part of the plate will give me the right thrust angle. Do I put the engine on the thin end and cut forward or do I start from the thick end and work back.

Also, whats the best way to cut it?

I know this isnt very clear but if you have used one I think you will know what I am asking.

BTW the thrust angle is the same no matter what part of the plate you use. When you use the thicker part the engine will just be offset a little more.

You are right. I guess I had a senior moment. The bad thing is that I am 31
