Crack baseplate

Has any one got a copy of the Crack baseplate please
I want to make a slightly larger wooden base to accept larger caps more comfortably and then swap straight over to a lager metal plate rather than remove bits measure up and make new plate then reassemble
 
Are you asking if we have the file for the chassis plate or if we can sell you a new one?

The answer to the former is yes, we have it, but we do not make those available. The answer to the latter is yes, we could sell you a new one.
 
We also sell an upgraded Crack with a much better power supply that has tons of room for film output caps and even has anchors for them that are bolted to the chassis.

Yes Paul I saw that a nice bit of “tidying up” looks cool now.
I was looking to upgrade my old model for the time being, adding larger psu caps and more space for a choke too together with improved bits as detailed in the HiFi Collective blog here in the UK
Thanks for the pointer tho

We don't share our chassis panel files. But it's not that hard to measure a panel and create your own

Sorry miss read that definately a confused day
Yes I’d like to buy a chassis but can’t see it on the site (probably not looking in right place) so if you could give me a price and the most economical shipping to the uk I’d be grateful. I also need a bottle head badge too, are those srtill available ?
Thanks
 
I think we’re talking past each other a bit here.

We can sell you a standard plate if you need a replacement, but it sounds like you want to have a new size made. I’m suggesting you measure the holes on the plate you already have and have a new plate made. We wouldn’t be able to fabricate a differently-sized plate.

We do sell the badge, but we’ve removed it from the international catalog because shipping is typically multiples of the cost of the badge. We will invoice people separately if you email us and ask to add it on to an order (we can’t offer it as an add-on on the site because Shopify insists on charging additional shipping even though we’d just toss it in with the amp). Let me know if you want it with or without the Bottlehead name at the bottom and we can price shipping out for you.

Yes I think we were not quite on the page sorry.
I wanted a standard plate to use as a template for cut outs to position on my new lager platte I’ll make, then transfer all the pats over. It seemed easier than stripping the original plate down to use as a template.However I have now located (hopefully) a printable pattern on the net so I’ll use that on a stiff piece of card, it’ll be ideal and easier to handle too.
I’ll like the button without the Bottlehead name pls so if you can give me a price that would be good
Thanks for your help
