Gold mount utility plates for attaching accessories via velcro
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Utility plates with gold mount studs on one side and velcro on the other side allow indirect attachment of accessories to battery plates.
- Aluminum utility plates with tapped holes provide better weight-bearing capacity than delrin plates when studs need to handle significant load.
- Delrin utility plates are lighter and cheaper than aluminum alternatives while still functioning well for velcro-based mounting applications.
- Commercially available utility plates can be sourced from specialty equipment suppliers under the product name 'utility plates'.
Depends on
- Aluminum plates are recommended only when weight-bearing through the tapped holes is a concern; velcro mounting does not require this durability.
- Thread from 2013; current product availability and pricing not guaranteed.
- Comparison limited to aluminum and delrin materials only.
