Need a countersunk clutch backing plate

[turbowrenchhead]

I'm replacing the cushions in my basket and replacing the basket. I can't find a machinist that will countersink 4 holes for the 5/16 bolts. I have a few carbide bits but none of them will touch it. Does anyone have a plate they would like to get rid of?

All Ive ever used was a drill bit. IDK why it would be giving you problems,,,but let me see if i have an extra laying around, if so, you can just have it.

They are hard AS FUCK to countersink... even the stock ones are pretty damn hard... I got one of these and it was great and way easy...

Last stock basket I had Someone had rebuilt with new cushions and reused the stock plate and left the stock rivets in place and had button welds holding the plate on, I don't know how safe this was but seemed to hold up quite well

just buy a billet basket already!!!!

 

that plate/ cusion setup from matton was a suggestion of mine to update the lesser quality billet baskets out there.  i have installed that setup on hinsons barrnets and the incrediby weak wiseco setups.  the stock plate is VERY VERY hard and ridgid for a reason.  some of the aftermarkets i have seen use ALLUMINUM  what the hell
