I'm converting my GP endplate to the adjustable ramp type. I've drilled the holes in the casing and fitted the adjustable ramp. [5mm holes for 6mm thread for anyone wanting to know]. I'm just not sure how critical the shape of the endplate is after grinding the fixed ramp off it. I've not got an Li one to compare it with. There's obviously a lot less metal than there previously was, so I'm imagining there shouldn't be an issue but can't help wondering if I'm overlooking something. I don't want to set it up only to find I trash the gearbox for something I'd overlooked.
Anyone got the T shirt?

Why not use an LI endplate. Contrary to popular scaremongering they do usually line up.

Martin, if you do a search on here (or on LCGB) some other guy put photos up showing how he did it. Pretty straight forward.
