A.R.E. is producing a line of Alloy Engine Plates for Triumphs, with engine plates pending for other marques and models. These engine plates are about 1/3 the weight of stock plates and they replace distorted plates that allow unsuspected oil leaks.

Alloy engine plates have been used in the past on SCCA Triumph race cars and many of the front and rear plates shown here are being used by many Vintage Triumph racers in the US (and Europe).

They weigh in at 2 lbs. from the 6 lbs of the stock units. Perhaps more importantly, they replace distorted front plates that leak oil. Stock units are no longer available so they have use and application for the street Triumphs, as well.

If you are installing Front Engine Plate AFP-TR4 on your TR-4, don't forget about A.R.E.'s Torque Reaction Arm. Mounted to the left side of the front engine plate, the Torque Reaction Arm provides an adjustable connection point to the chassis using a molded rubber damper; neutralizing torsionally induced rolling movements or "torque reaction force" of the engine/transmission, ensuring a more efficient transfer of energy to the driveline.
