Mantis Engine Bracket & Flange

This replacement prevent plate is a genuine OEM part for a gas-power trimmer. A prevent plate is similar to a washer but more intense in that it also holds down a bolt with added support. The prevent plate keeps the bolt from threading all the way down to the head and helps to redistribute some of the pressure throughout the connection. This makes for a much tighter connection that is less prone to unthreading. Bolts such as this should be checked during regular maintenance, and if found to be stripped or corroded, should be replaced with a new part. To remove the old bolt, use a wrench or socket wrench to first pull out the bolt and the switch out the prevent plate. The difficulty of this job will depend where the bolt is used, as they can be found in multiple parts of the engine. This replacement prevent plate is compatible with engines made by Little Wonder and Echo. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and includes a prevent plate and a bolt. This part ships individually as a single unit.
