I FINALLY found a flex plate, but no nuts. I remember them being special. does anyone have any, or know where I might find some? bobby, do they sell them at dealerships? FYI - local junk yards quoted me $100 & $120 for the plate. after a bunch of internet searching I found one in Lynn MA for $20 + $20 shipping. they are hard to find. Tracy, you should make the design use a Chevy 350 flex plate ($20, anywhere). kevin portland, or (about to depart on another life-threatening hobby, kayaking, on the grand canyon for 18 days(240+ miles). maybe Tracy will float by!)
