I am installing my new AC pole and I would like to use a shortened turn plate. if i buy just the turn plate can i re use the bearings and other mounting parts from my stock setup on the new AC pole?

Your stock setup doesn't have bearings.

I don't think you can use a turn plate for a UMI system on a stocker.

yes you can, you have to get a bolt machined to fit, FreestyleGeek and Superjett are both running something like that (or use to )

Good to know. No reason to pay 130 bucks for a bearing stem then.

thanks guys, I think ill buy a turn plate and make my own bearing system and bolt then instead of spending the $130 on it.

PM Freestylegeek, he can tell you what you will need.
he did not use any bearings, just the plastic delron bushing......
