CJC 15 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 Anybody have an opinion on the best repro door sill plates. I have seen Scott Drake, Carpenter, Dynacorn. Maybe they are all made by the same manufacturer. Whats your thoughts on fit, finish, and appearance. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miketyler 15 Report post Posted March 7, 2015 I had bought the expensive Scott Drake stainless plates and while they were nice and heavy they were too much bling for my build. They were like polished nickel finish, different than chrome if you know your metal finishes. They seemed to fit ok. I sold them and bought a set of the cheaper aluminum ones. My only gripe was the stamping for the Ford logo plate. It was a bit soft and was a little smaller than it needed to be. Because of this the plates didn't nest down in it well. I remedied this by taking the plate and very lightly broke the edges of the plate upward like a bowl. They fit great and look more like original fit. Doubt you could tell anything had been done unless you looked very close Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Machspeed 219 Report post Posted December 9, 2015 I see that Dynacorn is making stainless Door sill plates. Can anyone advise on the fit and quality of these units? Also, do they look like the OEM units? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barnett468 418 Report post Posted December 16, 2015 carpenter has the tooling and makes the best sill plates . . they had the same finish as the originals . . i dont know if he changed it or of drake is having carpenter make them for him with more shine . . the one on the right is the carpenter one. everything else is crap by comparison . . oh wait, no, everything else is crap anyway.

machm1970 180 Report post Posted December 22, 2015 Are they the same thickness as originals? Several years ago I bought repops and they were complete crap, about 1/2 as thick as the originals, bent easily. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
