I was wondering if anyone that bought engine plaques from SRT SIX has drilled and tapped the top of the supercharger to mount them? I thought I would ask this question because I was thinking of doing this to mount mine, of course I would look into how deep I could drill before I did. I know most everybody used JB weld and done something to cover the holes in the plaque.

 

No I wouldn't recommend drilling into the supercharger, it could lead to stress cracks. I used JB weld and it worked great. Looks like it was done from the factory.

 

You can always put screws of some type through the holes (tightly fitting) and then slice the end of the screws off the backside and then JB weld it in place. That should give the screws about half a thread or so to keep them locked down, plus the JB weld.

Good luck!

 

PLEASE...do not try to drill holes in the supercharger...

Some have done as suggested with "short" screws in the holes then JB Weld the plate. I have just left the holes alone and personally don't think it looks bad.

 

Yeah, I think I'll go with the JB weld, I had asked the Renntech guy that I bought my kit from if he knew how thick the housing of the supercharger was and told him what I wanted to do. He suggested the JB weld too, I just thought if it was 3/4 inches thick or more why not drill & tap it about 1/4 of an inch. Thanks for the input.

 

Does anyone have a picture of what the MB engine plaque looks like? I've look online for photos of the C32 motor and they don't show a plaque on the supercharger.

 

Here is what the "new" one looks like...no holes.

where are these plaques coming from and how much do they run?

 

I have been supplying the engine plaques to forum members for over a year. I have them in stock. They are $22.50USD including S&H to the continental US. They are engraved aluminum and are held in place with JB Weld.

If interested, send me a PM with your email address and I will bill via paypal.

 

Is it possible to buy an orginal AMG Engine plaque?

It does annoy me that MB would leave the engine plaque off. It's kind of a "screw you" statement.

 

I dont think you will find the MB plaque anywhere. They are put on at the factory by the person that builds the engine to my understanding. Pretty much his signature/guarantee.

I like the plaques from SRT SIX but I would have done something a bit more simple.

I think you're right, it is impossible to get an engine plaque. I also learned that the engine plaques only showed up on post 03 C32 and SLK32 models.

 

I put my plaque on with 3M double sided tape. It withstands heat very well and if you want to take it off for some reason, it's a lot easier and cleaner than JBWeld. Incidently, I've been using this two way tape on motorcycles for quite a while and have never lost any object affixed with it.

 

What is the part number on the 3M tape your using? I need some for my SRT6 fender badges too.

Manufacturer; Scotch 3M
Nomenclature; Indoor/outdoor Mounting Tape, Super Heavy Duty
Stock Number; 411/DC

Our plaques are relatively light and mounted horozontally will not come off unless you want it off. I have mounted heavy enameled badges to the front of air cooled BMW motorcycle engines and haven't lost one yet. Incidentally, my plaque has been on for about 6 months without a problem.

Enjoy, Dan

 

Where can I get the SRT6/AMG plaque for the supercharger?

 

You can get a engine plaque, that is like the amg ones that come on the mercedes sc. There is a place in Canada i got mine from there. It is a look a like and it is signed What ever floats ur boat!

 

Is there any proof that the SRT engine is hand built by one person like the AMG version is?

 

Most insightful comment in a long time, and a question that really needs answering. This could be the whole reason for not having engine plaques on them...or it could be because Chrysler is cheap.

 

I vote the latter, but you would never know it considering the prices they charge for parts and services. Can you be cheap and greedy at the same time? Sure you can, its spelled Chrysler!
