Niche Line engine build plate removal

[Epiphany]

Just trying to be productive while waiting for VMP to get going on an initial tune for me so today I tried removing the plate and transferring it to the VMP lid I intend to use.

Didn't use a heat gun. Tried dental floss and quickly realized I was wasting my time. Then I tried a zip tie and it worked perfectly.

To remove the adhesive on the back of the plate I started with Goof Off and finished with some Xylene.

To attach the plate to the VMP lid I used some Permatex Ultra Black, spread out on each and waited a couple minutes, then pressed the plate in place and it worked perfectly.

The goal is to keep a near OEM appearance and so far things are working out rather nicely.

If you ever have to do similar again fishing line works really well.

That entered my mind but I haven't fished in about 40 years and have zero fishing equipment on hand. Same goes for any ninja neck strangling cable.

I can send you some, Tob.

Fishing line. Yep, it’s definitely fishing line.

I have both, being a fisherman and a bass player.
