It is a plate style "X". Please email any information to: John Minor University of Illinois jminor@uiuc.edu John How broken is it? And Are aware that a process called lock & stich can repair almost all broken plates. This is a non welding procedure. The inventor/fabricator is located near me In turlock Ca. I own Mason AA my self & am surprised that such a massive plate is broken. The plate was hoisted in the air on a wench when a strap gave out. So, the plate was dropped flat on a concrete floor from maybe 5 feet! There are 2 struts snapped clean. John
