Sandwich plates, often referred to as take off plates, are vital components in performance vehicles, enabling the integration of external systems such as oil coolers, temperature gauges, and pressure sensors. These plates are installed between the engine block and the oil filter, creating a pathway for oil to be diverted to and from auxiliary systems without altering the engine's original architecture. Typically made from high-strength materials like billet aluminium, sandwich plates are engineered to withstand the high pressures and temperatures associated with performance driving.

Technically, sandwich plates are designed with multiple ports featuring threaded fittings, allowing for the attachment of hoses and sensors. These ports are strategically located to ensure optimal oil flow and minimal pressure loss, maintaining the efficiency of both the oil system and any connected devices. Inside the plate, channels guide the oil through the ports, facilitating smooth and consistent flow. High-quality seals, such as O-rings or gaskets, are employed to ensure a leak-proof installation, preserving oil pressure and preventing contamination. Some advanced sandwich plates incorporate thermostatic valves that regulate oil flow based on temperature, ensuring that oil only circulates through the cooler when it is necessary.

The installation of sandwich plates requires precise alignment and secure fitting to ensure proper functionality. The ports must be accurately matched with the corresponding hoses and fittings to maintain a secure and leak-free connection. The robust construction and precise engineering of sandwich plates ensure they can endure the rigorous conditions of high-performance environments. By providing a reliable interface for additional systems, sandwich plates enhance the versatility and capability of performance vehicles, allowing for improved cooling and monitoring solutions critical to high-performance applications.
