 Paul, Is there a documented solution to replace the flexplate with a more
 substantial unit to avoid disintegration or cracking?
 
 Thanks Joe Berki
 
 
 Well some of people have used a steel flywheel.
 Dave Leonard as I recall.
 
 The best solution is use the stock plate with a rubber coupling.

 Paul did you get a chance to publish the final CAD drawings and files for the coupling?  I might have missed it if so.
 
 Thanks.

 We have three designs. Which one do you like.?

Which ever one would be the most practical to build in a local machine shop based on the CAD drawings, and also fit into Tracys redrive without other modifications.


Thanks

This is the simple-est and easiest to build.
The blue is just a chunk of aluminum bar.

The stock FORD part is cut down a bit on the lathe.
