Has anyone done a How To on Flipping Your Plate?

[Mario77746]

It seems like a pretty easy job but I wanted to see if there was anything out there before I attempted it.

Thanks.

The holes are already there and all you need is a counter sink bit if they are not already counersunk. I like the light to face the wheel gives a great affect at night. I think that bdmridgeback used the conformal coating on the light board and made a drain so that water would not mess with the board.

I didn't do it and half of my board is out.

I didn't do a complete how to on flipping your plate but here is how to keep the water out. Might as well do it while you have it tore apart. Here's a linkie:

Thanks for the info guys. The link on the "Saving Your Plate From Water Damage" for the spray is dead. Will any silicone spray work? I know I have a bottle of silicone sealer from Napa for spark plug wires....

Try it again the link worked for me and I don't think any spray will work.

Yep easy job and def. do the tip on keeping the water out by BDM. I lost my lower to bulbs to crud. Its a one beer job if you drink slow, 2 beer if you're rollin:up:

Thanks guys. Piece of cake. Like you said VAC, it's a 1 beer job. I think by far the easiest, free mod I have ever done!!!

:down: The worst thing i found about flipping the plate was finding the little tiny Micro connector, were the license plate lights plug into the harness. I can't find those anywhere,, :loony: (other then buying the whole set-up from BDM) :bang: but they won't sell me just the connectors. :down:

Any ideas anybody??
