If you'll go back a couple of posts, you'll find that the plate did not work quite as planned for me. With the plate as low as it would go several lifters would drag and a couple would not make contact with the plate when they were at the bottom of their travel and there was nothing to keep them from spinning. If I loosened the plate, a couple of more lifters would not make contact with the plate and could spin.
The dog bone and spider was suggested so that I did not have to change lifters and push rods and switch to a linked roller lifter.
Working on the dog bones, I got to looking at the plate and thought it might be a better way of securing the dog bones than the modified ford spider.
