I have an Austria plate and a Rieger Tuning frame, and i can’t fit the fucking plate into the frame. Did Euro plates come in multiple sizes, or am I retarded?

They’re both 21" wide, but the plate seems to be 4 11/16" tall, while the frame looks only able to accommodate 4 8/16".

wtf?

I think the older ones like you have may be a bit taller. The one I ordered is 520mm long x 111mm tall. 111 mm is roughly equal to 4.37 inches tall.

If yours is 4 and 11/16" inches tall that puts you around 4.69 inches or 119.12millimeters.

Also, you can verify the length of the plate which should be 520mm or 20.47 inches by letting Mrs. Knapp deepthroat it. I believe she has a 21 inch capacity.

If a hammer can’t fix it, it ain’t broke.
