Flexplate

[duke1n]

According to the microfiche there is a collar/ring that the flexplate bolts go through first before going through the flexplate and into the crank. I don't see them in pics of billet flexplates. Is it needed when using a laminated flexplate?

Yes, you got the Suncoast F/P?

 

[duke1n]

Yes. So it's needed? Seems like the stock bolts would start getting a little short?

No issues dukey....told to me by Joe Webb couple years back.

None of the aftermarkets use the spacer/plate/round thingy.

A lot of the aftermarket flex plates/torque converter setups, will cause the flex plate bolts to hit the torque converter, if the ring is used.

ATS states the ring must be used.

ATS states the ring must be used.

I stand (sit, actually) corrected. Do they require it on the reinforced model or the billet model?
