What kind of interest would there be for a CNC Bennett base plate?

I imagine the LDPer's may be interested in these. That way you can get rid of the Bennett weird kingpin and add some wedge to the plate.

I have never tried, but I think I read somewhere that Bennett baseplates fit Indy hangers, If so (someone set me straight here), a Bennett/Indy style plate that was drilled new and old-school, with a nice recess for interchanging grade 8 kingpins that fit those hangers would be pretty trick, not just for slalom but for freeride/carving etc...

+12* angle please.

Great thinking Gary, if you made them pre-wedged and with grade 8 kingpins I bet the LDP guys would love you forever.

Sign me up, you have at least 2 sold right here.
And I know of others who would beg for them

Another sale right here for a LDP plate.

You have my attention.
Different geometry for front and rear?
Adjustable wedging like G.O.G.???

I'd like to do an adjustable plate, I would guess it would be something close pricewise to the adjustable I allready make. I would think they will be around $130.00 - $150.00

If I did an adjustable, what would be the best range for what you guys do?

Someone just made a 0* Indu baseplate, maby you could talk him into making a Bennett baseplate with a higher angle...?

rosewood thief · 07-19-2009, 02:44 PM

i would cum.

make an inverted kingpin/weld the locknut in the baseplate, and send a longer kingpin to go with it!

i would say make 7*-12*?

Man you're telling me i spent all this time w/ wedges and months and months of selling and buy parts and now you're gonna make an angle adjustable bennet plate
RAWR!
I'd so buy 1 BUT! 120 for a single baseplate seems a tad steep.

I usualy sell my base plates in sets, they will likely be $130.00 - $150.00 per set of two base plates

st3v13 · 07-19-2009, 06:07 PM

But in terms of LDP use. Most people would only need 1

thermodood · 07-19-2009, 06:11 PM

Oh that'd be cool. And bennett baseplates fit both Indy and Tracker hangers and tracker 219 hangers and bennett baseplates are awesome.

I can sell just one, that's no problem

vertigonoirxvii · 07-20-2009, 07:25 AM

i'd probly take one or two depending on the price.
would there be differences in the plates for the 4.3's as compared to the 5.0 or 6.0s or would it be a standard "one plate fits all" kinda deal?
when would we expect to see these in our hands?
