I did a bit of R&D on auto TX flex plates today.
Not only do they vary in diameter but the biggest difference
seems to be the fore and aft location. Like real estate it is location, location,
location. The bad news is the RX8 version will not work with
Tracy's plate or our new bell housing. The good news is the 2nd gen
flex plate will fit the RX8 and and 3rd gen counter weight and will work
with Tracy's plate and our new bell housing.
It is available from  Mazda parts at $224. Part number BU17-19-02013

Hi Paul;
The counterweight should match the engine rotor (weight) series for
proper balancing.
e.g. Series 4, Series5/6, RX8
An RX8 engine should use an RX8 CW.
