THROTTLE PLATES
CUSTOM THROTTLE PLATES
We make pl at es for j ust about
ANYTHING! Injection units, carbs,
throttle bodies, etc. We have spinning
fixtures for different angles and bolt
hole spacings.
REPLACEMENT THROTTLE PLATE
We STOCK and/or custom MAKE
plates for all types of injection mani-
folds and throttle bodies:
HILBORN, CROWER, ENDERLE,
ENGLER, JACKSON, ALGON,
RON'S, EVM, GM, HOLLEY, ETC.
QUALITY MACHINING
EACH KINSLER THROTTLE PLATE
IS TURNED IN A LATHE !!!
A stamped plate can be bowed from
the press, have varying edge angles,
etc. Turning gives a flat, crisp edge,
at the precise angle.
IMPORTANT FACTS
DIAMETER
Must be measured across the center
of the bolt holes. It is smaller than the
throttle bore to provide clearance for
rotation, and material expansion of
the plate from the engine heat during
a hot soak. The clearance varies
depending on the quantity of plates
over a length of shaft.
Example : One-piece throttle
shaft with four plates versus two
shafts with two plates each,
joined with a Kinsler billet
Spring-Screw Link... the latter
can run with less clearance. A
single throttle plate can run with
even less. See Pages #64-65.
STANDARD KINSLER
ALUMINUM THROTTLE PLATES :
SCREW HOLES
Throttle plate screw holes are larger
than the screw diameter to allow the
plate to be adjusted for alignment in
the throttle bore.
ANGLE
Our standard angle is 14
o
, rotating
76
o
to wide open. This is good for
sealing and non-sticking. Special
angles available on request.
THICKNESS
We use . 062", . 071", or . 091"
depending on the throttle bore size
and the strength that is require for the
plate. Do not use a plate that is
thicker than needed, as that causes
more air flow restriction.
MATERIAL
Our standard plate material is 2024
aluminum. This alloy has a very high
bending strength. On special order
we offer 304 stainless steel (.091"
thick ONLY). We dont recommend
brass (too soft) or cold rolled steel
(too weak, rusts, and creates excessive
wear on throttle bore).
STREAMLINED
For an aerodynamic shape, the plate
has the leading and trailing edge
thinned to about one-half the original
thickness, then tapered and blended
to where the plate mounts on the
throttle shaft. Least air flow resistance
when used with streamlined throttle
shafts, see Page #55. This design is
as strong as the standard in bending,
but is much more expensive to make.

NOTE : Due to machining
tolerances sizes may vary slightly !
