Pics of my flex plate assy. (with bolts instead of rivets).

Nice Mark. Safety factor of 50 :)


I am having a lot of trouble finding a 10 MM hex drive flat head
metric bolt with 1 mm pitch that will hold the flex plate to the
counter weight. That means we will lose about .3 inches on the
width of the rubber bushings. Plenty of them out there with 1.25
pitch. 1 mm pitch is called super fine.

If anybody knows where I can get such an animal please speak up.
Bolt Depo was no help. Same for McMaster. East Coast 800 638 1830
John is checking his Japanese supplier.

Paul, I used AN-4 bolts because Tracy used -4 rivets. Simple decision. ;-)

This is what it looks like with regular 10 mm bolts and a counter bore for the socket.
Final design iteration. I'll send the iges to Jeff shortly.
