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, what length are you looking for and how long is the shoulder ?

John

Top of head to end of threads 40 mm
Just like this but Pitch 1 mm and grade 8 or grade 5 steel.
