Why not just sell the Indy piece and buy a Bulldog one from Muscle Motors? I think they have all the old stock of them.




Bill, Mike pm'd me and he thinks Bulldog is finished, hes going to take on making them the same way and putting his name on it but its going to take time,
so as of now Bulldog is MIA.
mike at muscle motors says he has tried to email him and call and no return calls back.
too bad indy wont cut them like that. its a great way to install them with the correct meat on the sides as original and not trimming them on the sides ,instead of gobbs and gobbs of silicone to fill in the large gaps.

Did you ask Mike if he had the old Bulldog ones in stock? I too heard Bulldog was done, but was told that he bought up all of the valley plate inventory. Perhaps I was misinformed or he sold them all.

BILL, muscle motors said all stock is gone, Bulldog had a great product there. mike seems to feel Bulldog is a little bit of a flake and cant get his priorities in order. its a shame, he had a nice product there, mike said he sold a ton of them and there is a market so hes going to pick up the slack on them.

Guys, if done right there is absolutely no difference in the fit where the head and plate meet. The only thing that is trimmed is what goes under the head (you could never see that part anyway). You can barely see the silicon on mine, no need for gobbs (same amount that an uncut one would need).

It is just easy to grind a little off the point on each side, I assumed everyone did that mod.

After reading all this it seems the best plate is the one like Andy's with the removable center, along with BG's cut along each side.

maybe AndyF can make a run of the Bulldog style 2 piece valley trays, it seems that Mike at Muscle Motors couldnt keep them in stock and there seems to be a market for them in the Mopar community.
maybe Andy will chime in and let us know if he would make a run of them and see if the market will bare.
i think its worth a shot, they could be priced right, not too hard to make and not alot of money to tool.
Andy makes some real nice parts for this hobby.
