Getting the dragster together, the rear is installed and the servo plates are mounted. Thinking of making the servo plates out of carbon fiber.

No they are RM 60/0 hard rubber blocks from http://www.roxtec.com. They are used to keep fiber optic interconnection boxes watertight when you pull out the cables. They are the perfect size to keep the tires 1/4in off the ground, they won't slip or damage the powder coat. I use them under all my cars!!
