Saito 45 Backplate
Those things some times broke on there own! Made one years back out of an aluminum angle, lots of cutting & filing but it lasted until I sold the engine. Held it on with the two top cover bolts, maybe had to get longer ones, been a long time ago but it can be done. Just to let you know .>>>>>>>big max 1935>>>>>>>>>

RE: Saito 45 Backplate
I broke the carb mount on the back plate of my saito .45 mkII. The backplate for a .50 seems to fit perfect where all you have to do is drill and tap a hole to fit the carb of the .45 and bolt it down from the top with a 4-40. I bought a .50 backplate for around $3 where given the price, I bought two incase I messed up modifying the first one. I really hope this helps all those needing this discontinued part.
