Made from high-strength carbon steel with an automotive-grade stamping and automated weld finish, the plate is powder-coated to resist heat and corrosion. It ships as a complete kit with hardware and instructions so you can fit Predator, Coleman and compatible Briggs-style engines with minimal effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the VONLX riser plate improve drivetrain alignment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaising the engine 1.75 inches reduces the chance the torque converter or drive chain will contact the frame, helping the converter and chain run smoothly. Better alignment means more efficient power transfer from engine to wheel and reduced wear on chain and sprockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.75-inch elevation for clearer chain and converter clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimized bolt pattern for Predator and similar engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking screws allow forward\/backward adjustment for precise tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this mount handle regular off-road use and impacts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate is built from premium carbon steel and uses automated welding and stamping methods common in automotive parts, providing structural stiffness and impact resistance.
