Default Re: New flywheel rule

Has happened more times then people know, it just finally got seen on TV this year. and it wasn't a super high HP deal. I get around 3-5 calls a year telling me they found part of thier ring gear missing off a welded on ring gear and most of the time it is a SFI flexplate.
You can get a SFI mopar flexplate for $60, But I agree flexplates without ring gears should be excluded.

I'm checking now to see what is available for my application, that is made in the USA. I refuse to buy Chinese or other imported junk.

John, have you tried ATI? I recently got one from them and it seems like a very nice piece.
