According to the "book", the torque is 18 ft/lbs. Are you torquing the bolts in a crisscross pattern, gradually increasing the torque and using an alignment tool?
If the plate is not pulled down parallel it could get warped or it was warped before you tried to install.

Re: Head and neck restraints req'd 1/2012
I have found the "Hans" shoulder belts very helpful, just something to consider when upgrading the safety harness.

Re: Formula Vee Meeting during the Runoffs
If the decision is to go with spec manifold, why not include a "claiming rule"? This could limit "tinkering" with the spec manifold.

Trans Shift Forks
Changed gearboxes, now the gear lever will not engage reverse. Where should the shift forks be positioned to engage 1st gear? That way the lever can be changed to engage 1st and then reverse should be available.
