I have 3-inch pulleys, belts, from KARATA and a motor plate from Baker Drive systems I can make it work it's just going to be some extensive machine work..., going to make it look old school anyway I'm cutting away most of the motor plate just enough to hold the starter and that whole area will be opened up

If I get my hands on a Karata motor plate I plan on using it for a template to make more, can copy it on buddy's cnc.
That would be cool people would definitely be buying those.

Couldn't ethically sell someone else's design, but I would share them with anyone on the forum for the cost of the material.
I never said for a profit but your time or machine time is worth a few bucks.Couldn't ethically sell someone else's design, but I would share them with anyone on the forum for the cost of the material.

Yeah when I bought my pulleys from him I tried talking him into making me one but he cried about how it would cost to just make one and his health was failing him and he just wasn't feeling up to it I asked him for the CNC program so I can have it done he still declined I just don't really think he gives a shit.Ya they are real sick lookin, been bugging Jimmy Karata every month to make me one...no luck so far, he just tells me I will get it when he gets around to it..

You're probably right. Baker sells a bolt on that's a perfect fit. This isn't a baker plug just a fact. I bought and installed one
I offered to drive to his shop and make it myself! He said he would get to it, just be patient... I did hear his health isn't the best and he is in his 80's..

Here's a transfer plate I made for my transmission plate
I don't care for the outboard bearing support or the two and a half inch Drive if it would have been a 3-inch drive without all the extra I would have loved it
I really like the looks of the Karata vs the Baker.
Baker is alright, but the Karata is badass..

This is a transfer plate I had made up for my transmission plate Baker Industries gave me the bolt pattern when they rebuild my transmission I told him I was going to make a slide mount and he was more than happy to send me the blueprint on the bolt down. The only thing I need to do is remove that wire that runs down through my transmission plate..., clamp it down transfer the slot down.

I've never heard bad reviews on the Karata, other than shitty customer service..or non-exsistant customer service. You can still get all Karata parts, just not the motor plate.

Must be old stock. In my opinion shitty customer service equates to a bad review. Have a good day and post some pictures when ya get it mounted.

Well here it is it will hold almost 4 quarts and with a hanging out there in the Wind it will help to keep it cool can't wait to get it installed as well

I do agree with you guys, I would not have any support from Karata...I don't need it, BDB solves any problems..
