Default Homelite 25/30 backplate question

Does anyone offer an aircraft backplate similar to the WHH marine mount? I have only been able to locate a flat mount plate that uses the original crankcase stuffer.

I have one of the marine mounts but I don't want to let go of it.

Do you want to stuff your crankcase more than the original back plate? Some were metal but most were plastic with a metal retainer?

I want a solid metal backplate/mount that does a better job of stuffing the case. The stock backplates, plastic and metal, produce a large crankcase volume for better low speed performance. A good radial mount would make the Homie a lot more viable.

People attach an aluminum plate to the inside of the plastic ones to stuff the crankcase or remove metal from the back of the crankcase.

Hi,
The best method is to mill off about 100 thousands from the back of the case. This lightens the engine while decreasing case volume. Use the stock backplate with a plate mount. Do a search on the canadian RC forum. A guy cast a nice mount for the homey 25/30cc trimmers.
