Motor Adjustment Screw Plate

Corey Darling · November 28th, 2006, 18:03

Hello

I believe i've lost the Adjustment Plate for the Motor in my TM MP5 RAS, didnt realize it existed when i first took the gun apart :S

From what I can tell, the part number is MP43. I've made a round plate out of some metal i had lying around (fits perfectly above the set screw, but its completely flat. Not sure if the actual plate has some special shape to it or not.

I havent been able to find a replacement plate online, just curious if someone knows where i can find one, or if the one i made will do okay?

Thanks

Corey

Thumb tac...take the pin part off and drill the hole!

Yeah, it's just a flat disc. Yours will probably work just fine.

3 inch framing mail head is a good replacement or a trimmed penny also works

Once you have a disk that fits properly, use a bit of Krazy Glue on the base of the motor to hold the disk in place. Works great, and if you ever need to replace the motor, it pops off easily if you want it to.

Forget the crazy glue.Any hard flat piece of metal, the correct circular shape, works great. Put a dab of lithium grease on it, then put it on your motor base plate under the grub screw.Re-affix, thenyour done. P.S.- slack the grub screw off before you do this.Hope this helps.

Nah, I used to use the lithium grease to hold it in place, but it only lasts so long. Instant glue is the best, never have to worry about wearing it out (besides, if you are troubleshooting a bugger of an AEG and have to open it up and put it back together a few times) as far as stickiness goes, and you get to avoid the damned "Shit! I dropped the disk, where did it go?!?!" and you search around the bench and floor for 20-30mins, then realize the disk fell of and stuck to the side of the motor. Gluing it avoids a lot of hassles, and it only comes off when you want it to come off.

I totaly second everything Stalker just said, that damn plate is a major pain in the ass! Krazy glue to the bottom of the motor solves all...
