its easy to cut them! jus measure the gap between th top/bottom of letter, and use that size and jus mark it at the sides,use a tri square( the L-shaped thing) draw a line down,either cut the plate on top of a bit o wood or summit,saves the film along the back peelin off and water gettin in then use the bits that u cut off-with the cornered edges,hold them straight on the plate,draw the round the corners onto the new plate,and file till your hearts content , i recommend a bit o wet n dry or emery paper to smmooth cut edges

over sized throttle should underfuel it as it gets more air in but with the huge inlet tracks shouldnt have thought it would make a difference

i used the proper sticky pad things! 1mm, come in packs o 3 and also includes a LOVELY ( NOT !) smelling cleaning wipe, i cleaned the back o the plate wiv it,and removed all the sticky crap that was wher th old plates came off,gave it a polish,stick on the plates, but get a mate to stick em whilst u eye them up for level,and the jobs a good one, viola
