Flexplate - Competition Diesel.Com

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 · 01-26-2007, 08:56 PM

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.

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

brandon.
