Chris, I understand the plate too, and I went thru a lot to stop any firewall deflection when I did mine. There is a ton of force there pushing on the firewall, I realize this. That's why I had to triangulate the bracketry so the forces got distibuted from the top of the firewall to the bottom of the dash, then back to the pedal bracket. It's solid as a rock, but I must say it was a pain in the %ss to do. I would have been better off buying Ray's set-up by the time I got done ha ha!
