Dear Bryan:
I welcome your help. Tomorrow I will be getting the technical data for the mains part numbers as well as pictures of the plates. If the ones you have fit my needs I am your customer. How about that?
So I will be in touch about your plates. In regards to the crack I can tell you that it can be fix and that fix not only can restore the structural integrity of the plate but, it will be stronger than it's original strength. So that part will not be a problem at all.
Regards,
Salvador Corona
